1
Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix lightly with a spoon.

3
Melt the butter in the microwave, and add into the dry ingredients.

4
Mix lightly with a spoon (don't worry if it's slightly powdery).
-
5
Preheat the oven to 170C.
-
6
Add the ingredients and bring the dough together.
-
7
Hold it with both hands and knead it a few times.
-
8
It might feel sticky at first, but it will eventually come together.
-
9
Mix the crushed chocolate bar into the dough and shape it into a ball.
-
10
Aim to scatter the chocolate evenly (take care not to knead too much as the chocolate will melt).
-
11
Press down the dough on a cutting board and spread it out into a 1.5 cm-thick flattened ball.
-
12
Slice into eighths like a cake.
-
13
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
-
14
Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven.

15
It's done when the surface is slightly browned.
-
16
180C might also be fine depending on the oven...

17
The resulting scones are about half the size of the scones at Starbucks.
-
18
If plain yogurt is unavailable, add 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice instead.
-
19
I recommend keeping these scones in a paper napkin and a plastic wrap after they have slightly cooled down.

My personal best result was with using a half of each block of the chocolate bar.
