• Dip a 2" round cutter in flour, and use it to cut out a total of 16 scones; you'll have to gather the scraps and reshape the dough once. Space the scones evenly on the prepared pan.
• Bake the scones for 20 minutes, until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and serve warm. If not serving immediately or within a couple of hours, store in an airtight container. To reheat, wrap loosely in aluminum foil, and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line an insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter pieces into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Mix in the chocolate chips/chunks, whichever you are using.
• Add the buttermilk and vanilla to the flour mixture, and stir just enough to bring it together, but do not overmix.
• Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface and turn out the dough onto it.
• Knead the dough slightly (just 4-5 times), and pat the dough into a circle about 1 1/2-inches thick.
• Cut the circle into 6 pieces by first cutting it in half, and then into thirds, in wedge shapes.
• Place the scones on the parchment paper.
• Make your egg wash by beating the egg with the milk and gently brushing the tops of the scones (this helps them brown nicely).
• Bake scones in the preheated 400F oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are nicely golden.
• Allow to cool on a wire rack.
• Prepare your glaze by sifting together the confectioner's sugar, the cocoa, and salt in a small bowl.
• Stir in the vanilla and just enough of the hot water to form a thin glaze.
• If the glaze is not thin enough, simply add drops of water a few at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the glaze is as thin as you like it.
• When the scones are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the scones (it will set and harden as it sits).
• If the glaze sets in the bowl before you get to it, you can warm in over a double boiler on the stove or heat it gently in the microwave and it will thin somewhat.
