Coffee & Chocolate Sprinkles Scones

You would think I’d be baked out after yesterday, but a morning coffee deserves a treat!

I adapted this recipe from food.com, using chocolate sprinkles instead of nuts. These scones have a lovely flavor and a great, delicate crumb.

Ingredients-

1 cup milk

2 tbsp instant coffee granules

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cut up

2/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

Method-

Heat oven to 425˚ degrees F.

Measure milk and stir in the instant coffee.

Put flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; stir to mix well.

Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers until the mixture looks like fine granules.

Add sugar and chocolate sprinkles; toss to distribute evenly.

Stir milk mixture; pour into the bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.

Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough and place about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake about 13 to 15 minutes or until the dough colors but does not get dark brown.

Cool on a wire rack.
