Chocolate Chip Toffee Scones

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream and vanilla extract to soft peak stage. Gently fold the whipped cream into the flour mixture. Add the chopped chocolate and toffee bits and mix through gently.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a bit until the dough comes together but is still slightly sticky. Divide the dough in half.

Gently pat out one half of the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and then sprinkle with some coarse sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown but still moist looking.
