Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough starter Make sure your sourdough starter is active
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened Cold butter works best for flakier texture
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk Use as needed to maintain dough consistency
Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Feel free to substitute with nuts or dried fruits

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In another bowl, mix the sourdough starter, egg, and milk until combined. Fold this mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick, then cut into wedges or rounds.
Baking
  1. Place the scones on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are firm and have a slightly crispy exterior.
  2. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
