These chocolate chip scones are the perfect occasional treat to pop in lunchboxes.
225g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
½ tsp salt
55g cold butter, chopped
30g caster sugar
150ml milk
50g chocolate chips
1 free-range egg, beaten
Preheat the oven to 200°C/425°F/Gas 7. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Add the flour, salt, butter and sugar into a food processor and blitz until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. If you don't have a food blender you can using a wooden spoon and just mix really well.
Pour in the milk, add the chocolate and mix until the mixture is fully combined and a dough is formed.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, knead until about 1 inch in thickness.
Stamp out rounds using a cutter and place on the baking tray.
Glaze the scones with a little beaten egg and place in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes until the scones are well risen and golden brown in colour.
Set aside to cool.
