Ingredients
- 90 grams Plain flour
- 10 grams Bread flour (if unavailable, use 100 g plain flour)
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 30 grams Butter
- 25 ml Water
- 25 ml Milk (if unavailable, use 50 ml water)
- 1 tbsp Plain yogurt
- 1 (If available) vanilla oil
- 1/2 Chocolate bar
Method
- Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix lightly with a spoon.
- Crush the chocolate bar into pieces.
- Melt the butter in the microwave, and add into the dry ingredients.
- Mix lightly with a spoon (don't worry if it's slightly powdery).
- Preheat the oven to 170C.
- Add the ingredients and bring the dough together.
- Hold it with both hands and knead it a few times.
- It might feel sticky at first, but it will eventually come together.
- Mix the crushed chocolate bar into the dough and shape it into a ball.
- Aim to scatter the chocolate evenly (take care not to knead too much as the chocolate will melt).
- Press down the dough on a cutting board and spread it out into a 1.5 cm-thick flattened ball.
- Slice into eighths like a cake.
- Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven.
- It's done when the surface is slightly browned.
- 180C might also be fine depending on the oven...
- The resulting scones are about half the size of the scones at Starbucks.
- If plain yogurt is unavailable, add 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice instead.
- I recommend keeping these scones in a paper napkin and a plastic wrap after they have slightly cooled down.
- My personal best result was with using a half of each block of the chocolate bar.
