    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 200℃ fan forced/220℃/425℉ and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
    • Add the flour to the mixing bowl and then the butter. Rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Stir in the caster sugar and chocolate chips.
    • Stir in the milk until you have a firm dough. The dough will appear crumbly at first but will eventually come together.
    • Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat down to form a circle - it should be approximately 2.5cm thick. Refrain from overhandling the dough, or it will be dense. Cut the dough into 8 wedges (see photo 5).
    • Place the wedges, spaced well apart, on the prepared baking tray (see photo 6). Brush the tops with milk and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the scones are well-risen and golden.
    • Serve the scones warm on the day they are baked.

    Recipe Notes

    Storage

    The scones are best enjoyed the day they are baked but will last a couple of days stored in an airtight container.
    To freeze, wrap each scone individually with clingfilm, then store it in an airtight container or zip lock bag in the freezer for up to three months.
