Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup salted butter (cold - cut into small cubes)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk milk (or regular milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • pastry cutter
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • cooling rack

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
  3. Add in the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break apart the pieces until they form small crumbs.
  4. Add in the milk and vanilla extract. First it will come together but still be crumbly and clumps. Next, use your hands to gently form into a dough. Gently mix together just until combined.
  5. Fold the chocolate chips gently into the dough using your hands. Be gentle and do not overmix here!
  6. Now add the dough onto the baking sheet. Form it into an 8” circle with your hands. Cut it into 8 triangles and spread each piece 2” apart from eachother.
  7. Bake for 15-18 (or 20-25?) minutes, or until edges begin to turn golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
