By Pikachutherecipereader

Easy and yummy! They turn out rather large, so I made sixteen scones instead of eight.

Preparation

Step 1

Directions


1. Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees.

2. In the bowl of a food processor using the S-blade, pulse together your flours, baking powder, sugar and salt.

3. Add your cubes of cold butter and plus for ten seconds, or ten individual pulses.

4. Transfer the food processor contents to a large bowl.

5. Fold in your chocolate chips (I used miniature chips)then form a well in the center of the mixture.

6. Add your heavy cream and ricotta and fold together until just combined or until no dry and wet ingredients are obviously separate.

7. Turn your dough out onto a well-floured countertop.Form into a circle, that is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

8. Using a pastry cutter or a floured chef's knife, evenly(ish) cut into eight triangles.

9. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes, rotating halfway through, or until the tops are puffed up and lightly golden at the edges.
