instructions
Make the dough
1 Make the dough

Place the butter in the freezer until hardened. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the baking powder (you will have extra). In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, half the maple syrup, half the cream, and 1 tablespoon of water. Working quickly, using the large side of a box grater, grate the frozen butter into the bowl of dry ingredients. Toss to thoroughly combine. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir to thoroughly combine (if the dough seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water). Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Form & chill the dough
2 Form & chill the dough

Transfer the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap. Form into a disk, about 6 inches in diameter. Tightly wrap the disk in the plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Cut the chilled dough into 6 equal-sized wedges. Transfer to the sheet pan, leaving about 2 inches between each scone. Evenly brush with the remaining cream. Bake, rotating the sheet pan halfway through, 21 to 23 minutes, or until the scones are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 10 minutes before serving.
