Chocolate Chunk Scones

These are so amazingly delicious!

2 cups flour (I used bread flour)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter; cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup milk or semi sweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg; beaten (for top)
1 tbsp milk (for top)
Powdered sugar (for top)

Preheat oven to 400. Make sure baking rack is in center row in oven. Line baking sheet with parchment paper (I didn't have parchment paper so I sprayed the baking sheet with cooking spray). In large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and soda and salt. Add butter and mix in. Stir in chocolate chips. Mix together buttermilk and vanilla and add to flour mixture. Transfer to lightly floured surface and knead 4-5 times. Pat into 7 inch circle. Cut in half then into 4 sections on each side (making 8 scones). Place on baking sheet. Mix together egg and milk, brush over top of scones. Bake 15-20 mins. Set oven to broil on high. Top scones with powdered sugar and place in oven (with door open) for about 30-45 seconds. Keep close eye on scones, sugar burns fast!

*Cinnamon Sugar variation:
Mix together
2 tbsp white sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

After brushing the scones with egg mixture, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Then follow recipe the rest of the way.
