Gently mix in the buttermilk, vanilla, and those decadent chocolate chips. Bake until golden, then whip up a rich chocolate glaze to finish.

Pro Tips for Making This Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme

Making the perfect scone is a simple pleasure, and I’ve learned a few tricks over the years that truly elevate these Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme.

The Butter is Key

My secret to truly tender scones is using very cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Don’t overwork the dough; you want visible flecks of butter to create those flaky layers. I often pop my butter in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before I start.

Don’t Overmix

Once you add the wet ingredients to the dry, mix just until combined. Overmixing develops the gluten, leading to tough scones, and we want light, airy ones! A gentle hand is your best friend here.

My Secret Trick:

For the absolute best texture, I always press the scone dough into a disc and then cut it into wedges with a sharp knife or a bench scraper, rather than using a round cutter. This minimizes handling and ensures a taller, flakier scone.

Glaze with Warmth

While the recipe calls for a simple chocolate glaze, consider glazing your Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme while they are still slightly warm. This allows the glaze to melt and seep into the nooks and crannies, creating an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.

How to Store Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme

After enjoying these delectable scones, you might find yourself with a few left over – though that’s a rare occurrence in my house! To keep them fresh, I recommend storing your Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, they freeze beautifully. Wrap individual scones tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, my personal tip for reheating is to warm them gently in a preheated oven (around 300°F/150°C) for about 5-10 minutes. This brings back that wonderful crisp exterior and soft interior, making them almost as good as fresh.

Nutritional Benefits

While a delightful treat, these Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme offer comforting energy from the flour and antioxidants from the cocoa. It’s about savoring homemade goodness and shared moments with family. Finding balance in our breakfast recipes is always key.

FAQs

Can I make the Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme dough ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the scone dough up to the point of cutting, then cover and refrigerate for up to 12-24 hours. This makes morning baking a breeze for these delicious Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme. Just pull them out, bake, and enjoy whenever you’re ready.

What if I don’t have buttermilk for these scones?

No buttermilk? No problem! You can easily make a substitute. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup, then fill with regular milk to one cup. Let it sit for five minutes, and it’s ready for your delightful Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme.

Can I use different types of chocolate chips?

Of course! Our recipe features dark, milk, and white for a supreme experience, but feel free to get creative. You could use mini chips, chopped chocolate bars, or even a mix with some nuts if you like. Personalizing your Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme is part of the joy of baking.

How do I get my scones to rise properly?

The secret to a good rise for your Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme lies in cold butter and not overmixing the dough. Also, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. A fully preheated oven helps give them that quick lift they need to be beautifully flaky.

Ingredients

  

For the Scones

• 2.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 8 tbsp unsalted butter very cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 3/4 cup buttermilk very cold
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp heavy cream or milk, for brushing

For the Chocolate Glaze

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
• 2-3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Pastry Blender
• Whisk
• Baking Sheet
• Parchment Paper
• Small microwave-safe bowl

Method

 

Prepare the Scone Dough

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the very cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough will be slightly shaggy.
• Fold in the dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently gather the dough and pat it into a round disk, about 8-inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the scones tender.
• Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 wedges, like a pizza.
• Arrange the scone wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them. Brush the tops with heavy cream or milk for a golden finish.

Bake the Scones

• Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the scones are firm to the touch and slightly risen. The tops won't brown significantly due to the cocoa, so rely on firmness.
• Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Chocolate Glaze

• While the scones cool, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and sifted cocoa powder.
• Gradually add the milk (1 tablespoon at a time) and vanilla extract, whisking until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more milk; if too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.

Glaze and Serve

• Once the scones are cool, drizzle the chocolate glaze over each scone.
• Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme warm or at room temperature!

Notes

For the best results, ensure all dairy ingredients and butter are very cold. This helps create tender, flaky scones. Leftover scones can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or frozen for longer. Reheat briefly in a toaster oven for fresh taste.

Conclusion

There’s nothing quite like the warmth and comfort of a homemade breakfast, and these Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme truly embody that spirit. They bring together generations in the kitchen, from my Nonna to Lily, creating sweet memories. These scones are a simple, joyful way to make any morning feel special. So gather your loved ones, bake up a batch, and create your own delicious family traditions, perhaps even alongside a delightful cherry cobbler muffins recipe.
