Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Scones with Chocolate Glaze:
2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
A scant 1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup peanut butter powder
1/2 cup (plus or minus according to taste) of chocolate and peanut butter chips
4 tbls. cold butter cut up in sm. pieces
Mix all dry ingredients, add butter and cut in with pastry cutter until crumbly, then add:
2/3 cup plain no-fat yogurt
1/3 cup half and half
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix together until all dry ingredients are combined (mixture should be pretty firm). If there are still dry bits, add half and half a tablespoon at a time until all are combined. Mix shouldn't be sticky, just firm. Form into a ball and press into a 7" circle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Cut into 8 wedges and separate them on the pan to allow for rising so they don't stick together during baking.
OPTIONAL: Sprinkle with granulated brown sugar before baking if you don't want to glaze them. Glaze recipe below.
Place in a 400 degree oven for 16-18 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool, then glaze if desired:
Glaze:
2/3 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup chocolate syrup - approximate
Half and half - add a tsp. at a time until glaze is the consistency you want
Spread over scones and enjoy!
I freeze mine for later by wrapping them individually in waxed paper and placing them in plastic bags until ready to eat whenever....
