Earl Grey Chocolate Scones

Steps

1. 1

   In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves. Pulse a few times to mix.

2. 2

   Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the food processor. Pulse until the butter is broken down into pea-sized crumbs and the mixture looks like coarse sand.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, lightly whisk the cold egg and heavy cream together.

4. 4

   Pour the liquid mixture into the food processor and pulse just until a shaggy dough begins to form. Do not overmix.

5. 5

   Add the chocolate chips and pulse once or twice or fold them in by hand to distribute.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a disk about 1 inch thick.

7. 7

   Cut the disk into 6 even wedges and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350 °F) (350°F (180 °C)) for 20-22 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
