Wholemeal Scones with Chocolate

After posting a photo of scones I made yesterday and getting positive feedback, here I am to share the recipe... and back to blogging. In 3 months, since the birth of my baby, I have been away from writing here on here, not from cooking though. I have tons of writing to catch up on!

I´ve been following this recipe for a couple of years, but this time around I decided to give a try to wholemeal flour. The result: spectacular! Thanks to the gestational diabetes I learned a lot about food and triggered main changes in our family diet, being one of them a bigger consumption of dark flours rather than the white ones.

This is a super simple recipe that I´m sure you´ll love!



Ingredients

- 500 gr flour (250 gr of wholemeal flour and 250 gr of plain white flour. You can only use the white flour if you prefer, just as amazing!) 
- 5 tbs of sugar
- 1 ts of salt
- 50 gr o butter
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbs of baking powder
- hand full of chocolate chips - this is totally optional and you may want to replace the chocolate by other ingredients such as raisins, dried cranberries or nuts

Preparation

1 - Pre-heat the oven at 200º.

2 - In a pan, melt the butter in the milk.

3 - In a bowl, put all the other ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and little by little pour in the milk and butter mixture. Kneed the dough and finally add the chocolate and mix with your hand.  

4 - Cover a baking tray with the baking paper and make medium-sized balls with your hand or with a table spoon.

5 - Pop it into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Don´t let the scones overcook, or they will become dry.

Enjoy!
