1
Prepare your ingredients.
2
Chill all the ingredients well in the fridge except for the ingredients.
3
Cut the butter into 1 cm cubes.
4
Mix the coffee powder with boiling water well and add milk.
5
Cool this in the fridge.
6
Meanwhile, combine the flour and sugar in a bowl and mix well with a whisk or chopsticks.
7
Add the butter at this point and press the butter into the flour using a dough cutter or fork.
8
Once mixed, use your fingertips (thumb and index finger) to rub more butter into the flour until the mixture resembles bread crumbles like in this picture.
9
Make a well in the centre and add the egg and the milk coffee.
10
Mix together using a cutting motion with rubber spatula.
11
Add the chocolate chips before the mixture forms a soft dough.
12
If it's too hard, add more milk.
13
On the other hand, if it's too soft, add a small amount of cake flour.
14
When the powder disappears, transfer onto a bench dusted with cake flour.
15
Roll it out to 1.5 cm thick and 18 cm diameter with a rolling pin.
16
Cut into 8 shapes like in this picture.
17
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the scones on the paper, allowing space to expand between each.
18
Bake in an oven preheated to 200C for 10-15 minutes.
19
Bake until the scones puff and turn slightly golden brown!
20
Cool them down on a wire rack.
21
Tip: They're still nice when cool, but I recommend putting them in a toaster oven to warm them up.
22
You can store them in the freezer.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
