Ingredients




cup all-purpose flour
cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
cup butter
1 lrg egg
milk -- as needed
cup miniature chocolate chips
Egg whites or heavy cream

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2 In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix well. 3 Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas. 4 Break the egg into a 1-cup measure and add milk to make 2/3 cup. 5 Add the milk, egg and chocolate chips to the flour mixture and combine lightly until a loose ball is formed. A light hand makes for a light scone. 6 Hand knead the mixture in the bowl 5 to 10 times and then break into 2 equal portions. 7 Press down each ball on an ungreased cookie sheet to form a 6-inch disc. 8 Score each disc into 6 wedges. Brush with a wash of egg whites or heavy cream. 9 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
