Yummy cream scones filled with chocolate toffee bits and drizzled with melted chocolate

Ingredients

• 2 cups Flour
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons cold Butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Heath English Toffee Bits

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a small bowl, mix together the whipping cream, vanilla and the egg and stir it up until it is well mixed. Set aside.

Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, forks or with your fingers, which is how I prefer. You dont want your butter pieces to be any smaller than a small pea. Now stir in the toffee bits.

Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture and pour the liquids into the middle. With a fork, gently toss the dry mixture into the liquid, continuing around the bowl until all the liquid is mixed in. You might need to do this twice. When the liquid is absorbed and it comes together like a nice dough, gather it together with your hands and place on a surface sprinkled with flour. Don't knead it!

Shape the dough into a square or a circle. I prefer square. Cut the scones into the size you like best. I got 12 small squares.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. At this point, I added a few more toffee bits on top.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size you cut them.

Try to let them cool before you try a bite!

If it suits your fancy, you can drizzle them with a little melted chocolate. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Mix together and drizzle away. Yum!
