Let's Make Chocolate Chip Scones

Hey, don't you want to eat some scones?

I do.

Huh? You don't?

Fine, I'll just make them myself, haha.

I'm a bit tired. It's really rough, isn't it? Haha.

At times like this, I can't get through the day without baking something.

This recipe is one I saw on social media a while back, and I still wonder if it's really okay for scones to be this easy and delicious. It's seriously a genius recipe.

I wonder if I have a chocolate bar.

...Nope. No chocolate bar.
But for some reason, there are chocolate chips in the fridge.
The big bag I bought for no reason when my urge to bake exploded.
What kind of situation is it where I don't have a chocolate bar but I do have chocolate chips?

If you're making them, I think you can just break up a chocolate bar by hand. Huh? You're not making them? Well, don't say that.

Anyway, first, set the oven to 200 degrees.

Get a bowl ready and put it on the scale.

150g of cake flour.

I don't need the scale anymore after this.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt, and then...

Mix it all around with a whisk.

This has the same effect as sifting. It's a lifesaver not having to wash a flour sifter, haha.

In another bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of milk, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar.
Emulsify it. Like a dressing, maybe?

Pour this into the flour from before... and mix it with a rubber spatula as if you're cutting through it. While rotating the bowl.

It's strange, isn't it? This cutting motion. Even though it feels like it won't mix properly, it gradually starts to come together.

Add the chocolate while there's still a bit of flouriness left. If it were a chocolate bar, I'd use one, but since it's chocolate chips today, I'll just throw in a random amount. It doesn't matter how much you put in, right? It's chocolate chips, haha.

Let's gather it into a single lump by hand and work on a baking sheet placed on a tray.
Shape it into a square about 4cm thick.
Then, cut it into 6 pieces with a knife.

Maybe it would be nice to shape it into a round and cut it into triangles. That's stylish.


The oven is warmed up just right, so I'll bake it for 15 to 18 minutes.

……Doesn't it make you worry when it's written like that? lol

I'll start with the shorter time for now, but in my oven, it's probably about 17 minutes.

Once it has a nice golden-brown color, it's done!

You know, anything is delicious when it's fresh out of the oven, right? lol

Instead of chocolate chips, it's also delicious if you add Earl Grey and increase the sugar.

For the Earl Grey, you can just cut open a tea bag.
If you cut the side that doesn't have the staple with scissors, you can get the tea leaves out nicely. Give it a try.

Sigh, I think I'll make some tea.

I have to give my mind and body a rest.

Tea break🫖

Like I said, anything is delicious when it's fresh out of the oven. (Second time)
