Ingredients
Coffee Scones
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
- ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Coffee Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon brewed coffee or espresso
- 1 - 2 tablespoon milk or cream or water
Instructions
- Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant espresso powder in a large bowl.
- Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or two forks until coarse crumbs remain. Stir in the mini chocolate chips until combined.
- Whisk the vanilla extract into the heavy cream. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the butter-flour mixture in two separate parts and carefully mix just until a dough starts to form.
- Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Turn the dough a couple of times until the dough comes together — do not over-mix. Form the dough into an 8-inch circle.
- Portion the dough with a sharp knife or bench scraper into 8 triangles. Place the dough triangles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to chill.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Brush the chilled scones with egg wash and sprinkle the tops of the scones with turbinado sugar. Bake the scones for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool the scones on a wire rack.
- Make the coffee glaze - Mix the {sifted} powdered sugar, instant espresso granules, brewed coffee (or espresso), and cream (or milk) in a small bowl until a glaze forms. Add additional cream (or milk) if needed. Drizzle cooled scones with glaze.
