• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups dark chocolate chips
• 2 cups cold whipping cream

2. Mix the first five ingredients. Pour in the cream and stir with a wooden spoon until the flour mixture is moistened.
3. Place the mixture on a lightly floured surface and knead gently until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes.Do not over mix the dough.
4. Divide the dough into three equal balls.
5. Flatten the dough into a 7-inch circle (flatten the dough with your hands) and cut each dough circle into eight triangles.
6. Place them on baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until bottom edges are lightly browned. Don’t bake for too long, otherwise the rolls will dry out.
7. Serve hot.

How do you serve rolls?

rolls are usually served with butter, jam or clotted cream.Clotted cream is delicious, but pretty hard to find in the US. If you see it, take some! Otherwise, you want to plan a trip abroad.
Scones also taste delicious with honey, whipped cream or even lemon curd!
We often enjoy these chocolate chip scones in the morning with tea or coffee or as a snack.
