Chocolate chips make these scones a hit with everyone who tries them. The confectioners' sugar glaze is a simple way to dress them up a bit.—Reba Starling-Silvey, Versailles, Missouri

Ingredients

3 cups self-rising flour
2/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly; stir in buttermilk just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips;
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat into a 9-in. circle. Cut with a floured 2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over scones. Serve warm.

Editor's Note

As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.

These scones turned out wonderfully. I love the taste of the buttermilk mixed with the chocolate chips and sweet glaze.

My daughter-in-law got me hooked on scones and I tried these and my family loves them. My husband requests these scones. Great texture. For an extra treat I added a chocolate glaze.
