Chocolate Chip-Vanilla Scones
-----------------------------

2 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. powdered or confectioner's sugar
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 c. unsalted, sweet cream butter, chilled and cut into chunks
1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. heavy cream -or- 1/2 c. whole milk
1 T. vanilla


Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

In workbowl of food processor, blend together flour, sugar, baking powder, 
and salt.  Add butter and cut into mixture; stir in chocolate chips by 
pulsing 2-3 times.  Add heavy cream and vanilla; pulse 8-10 times just 
until dough starts to hold together.  DO NOT OVERMIX.

On lightly floured board, pat out dough into a circle approximately 7" in 
diameter.  Cut into wedge shapes with a sharp knife; transfer to ungreased 
baking sheet, leaving about 2" between pieces.  Brush tops of wedges with 
heavy cream or whole milk; sprinkle with vanilla sugar.

Bake 10-12 minutes, until tops of scones are slightly golden; serve 
immediately.


Makes: 6 wedge-shaped scones


VARIATIONS:
