Chocolate Chip Scones

from Nordic Mini-Scone Pan Box

2 C flour

1/4 C sugar

1 1/4 tsp baking  powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 C cold butter, cut into pieces

3/4 C mini-chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 C buttermilk

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray pan with butter spray. (I use a mini-scone pan)
• In large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Blend butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. The mixture should look like coarse meal.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• In a small bowl, combine buttermilk and vanilla, then add to the flour mixture.
• Stir just until the dough comes together.  Do not over mix the dough.
• Divide evenly among the wells in the pan. Dough will be sticky. Use teaspoons to scoop and place in pan sections.
• Bake for 13-18 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Remove from pan and serve.
