CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SCONES
Serving Size: 8
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups Flour
1/2 cup Sugar -- brown
2 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Butter, sweet -- chilled
3/4 cup Peanut butter -- creamy
1/4 cup Milk
2 Egg
2 teaspoons Vanilla
1/2 cup Peanuts, unsalted -- chopped
1 1/2 ounces Chocolate – bittersweet
Preparation:
Break chocolate into 8 equal pieces. Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, stir
together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch
cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives
used scissors fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In
a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter mixture to the flour mixture and knead
until combined. Knead in the peanuts. Pat the dough out into a 1/2-inch thickness on
a cutting board. Using a floured 2-1/2 in. to 3-in. diameter crinkled round biscuit
cutter, cut out rounds from the dough. Gather the scraps together and repeat until all
the dough is used and there are 16 round. Place 8 of the rounds on an ungreased
baking sheet. Top each round with a piece of the chocolate and one of the remaining
circles of dough. Press the edges gently to seal. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until
lightly browned. Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool 5 minutes. Using a
spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cool completely
and store in an airtight container.
