CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES 
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
6 tbsp. butter, cut into chunks
1 lg. egg
About 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate baking chips
1 tsp. granulated sugar

In a bowl mix flour, powdered sugar and baking powder. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or rub with fingers until consistency of fine crumbs.

Break egg into a glass measuring cup and add milk to make 2/3 cup; stir milk mixture and chocolate into flour until evenly moistened. Pat into a ball and knead on a lightly floured board until dough holds together, 6-8 turns.

Pat dough into a 6 x 9 inch rectangle on a greased 12 x 15 inch baking sheet. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cut into 6 squares, then cut each square diagonally in half; separate wedges and space 1/2 inch apart. (Dough may be cut into shapes such as hearts, or circles instead if you wish.) Bake in a 450 degree oven until light golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Makes 12.
