Chocolate Scones

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sugar

teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 lrg egg

milk -- as needed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix well.

Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas.

Break the egg into a 1-cup measure and add milk to make 2/3 cup.

Add the milk, egg and chocolate chips to the flour mixture and combine lightly until a loose ball is formed. A light hand makes for a light scone.

Hand knead the mixture in the bowl 5 to 10 times and then break into 2 equal portions.

Press down each ball on an ungreased cookie sheet to form a 6-inch disc.

Score each disc into 6 wedges. Brush with a wash of egg whites or heavy cream.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
