Makes 18 scones

Ingredients
- self raising flour - 500g, plus extra for dusting
- baking powder - 1 tsp
- cocoa powder - 35g
- sugar - 35g
- cream - 330g, pure
- soda water - 170g
- vanilla - 1 tsp, extract
- chocolate chips - 75g, dark
- chocolate chips - 75g, white
- milk - 2 Tbsp, for brushing
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the self raising flour (500g), baking powder (1 tsp) and cocoa powder (35g) into the bowl. Mix Speed 4 / 10 seconds.
- Add the sugar (35g), pure cream (330g), soda water (170g), vanilla extract (1 tsp), dark choc chips (75g) and white choc chips (75g) to the bowl. Mix Speed 5 / 5 seconds until only just combined. You may need your spatula to assist the mixing. Do not overmix the dough.
- Combine Closed Lid / Kneading Function / 10 seconds. The dough will be quite wet, which will lead to a lighter scone. If you handle the dough too much, you won't have soft fluffy scones.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place it onto a silicone mat. You may find that flouring the mat makes them easier to work with. Shape and flatten the dough until it is 2-3cm high.
- Cut as many shapes as you can from the dough using a scone cutter dusted with flour. When cutting the scones, avoid twisting the cutter; just press down firmly. Each time you reshape and cut from the dough, the resulting scones will become denser.
- Place the scones close together on the prepared tray.
- Brush the top of each scone with milk (2 Tbsp).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- For crusty topped scones, allow them to cool at room temperature on a wire cooling rack. For soft crust scones, cover with a tea towel.
- Enjoy!
