3 tablespoons sugar Ask a question about this ingredient
1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5-Spice powder Ask a question about this ingredient
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Ask a question about this ingredient
1/2 teaspoon salt Ask a question about this ingredient
5 tablespoons chilled, unsalted butter Ask a question about this ingredient
3/4 cups spiced pecans, chopped Ask a question about this ingredient
6 ounces chocolate, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces (I used Ghirardelli semi-sweet, but you can use whichever brand or cocoa percentage you love) Ask a question about this ingredient
Heat oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the middle position
Ask a question about this stepPlace flour, baking powder, sugar, spices and salt in large bowl. Whisk together. If using a particularly sticky batch of pecans, mix with some flour.
Ask a question about this stepUse a pastry blender or two knives (or just your fingers) and quickly cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few slightly larger butter lumps. Add pecans and chocolate, mixing to prevent clumping.
Ask a question about this stepStir in most of the heavy cream with a spatula and mix until a dough forms.
Ask a question about this stepTransfer dough to countertop and add the leftover cream to the bowl to help scrap up leftover floury bits, then add that to rest of the dough. Knead dough by hand just until it comes together into a rough, sticky ball. Press ball flat on a lightly floured work surface and form scones how you like. I prefer to make a 3/4 inch thick circle and cut into rough triangles, but you can make tidier rounds with a biscuit cutter.
Ask a question about this stepTransfer wedges or rounds to an ungreased baking sheet and bake until tops begin to lightly brown, roughly 13-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let scones cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm (but watch out for hot, gooey chocolate) or at room temperature.
Ask a question about this stepOh my!! Thanks you so much. Corrected
These look and sound lovely!
Island Creek Oysters is one of the largest purveyors of oysters and clams in the U.S.
These sound delicious! But I think you may have left the butter out of the ingredients list?
