Chocolate Chip Scone (using cake mix)

Chocolate Chip Scone (using cake mix)

These Chocolate Chip Scones use cake mix as a shortcut base, making them simpler to pull together than a traditional scone recipe. Cold butter gets worked into a blend of cake mix and flour, then heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips are folded in. The dough is shaped into an 8-inch circle on a cookie sheet and baked at 400°F for 20-25 minutes... yielding 8 slices that work as a breakfast treat or dessert.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups Cake Mix
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour; plus more for dusting
½ cup unsalted butter; cold & cubed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Stir cake mix and flour in a large bowl.
Add cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture. Mix. The mixture should resemble coarse, sandy crumbs.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour the cream in the center. Stir gently only until the mixture comes together.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Sprinkle a small bit of flour over the dough and flour your hands. Place the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Gently press the dough to flatten into a circle that is an 8-inch diameter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
