It's a lazy Sunday and I felt like being indulgent so I came up with a new recipe to indulge myself <G>

They're perfect with a cafe latte ;-)

Chocolate Mess Scones

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup of good dark cocoa powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cups of mixed chocolate chips (in this recipe I used white, dark, semi-sweet and fudge morsels)

1 egg

¼ cup grated cold/frozen unsalted butter

2 tblspns baking powder

1/3  cup of sugar substitute

¾ cup + 1tbspn milk, cream or milk substitute (I use soy milk)

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F. Combine cocoa powder, flour, brown sugar substitute, salt and baking powder in medium bowl; use a box grater and work quickly to grate butter into mixture and mix until just incorporated. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut and macadamia nuts.

Beat milk and egg in small bowl until well mixed and add to dry ingredients

Fold in chocolate morsels

Knead about 10 times or until mixture forms a dough, adding small amount of flour, if necessary.

Divide dough in half. Pat each half into 6-inch circle. Place onto large ungreased baking sheet. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Do Not Separate. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with some finishing sugar if you’d like.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. To serve, separate into individual scones. 

Eat!

Enjoy!!
