Instructions: Place oven rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut the butter into 12 pieces and rub it evenly into the dry ingredients until the mixture has the appearance of fine cornmeal. Add chocolate chips. Whisk the eggs and milk together and stir into the flour and butter mixture with a fork to form a smooth dough.

Divide dough into 3 pieces and form each into a 5-inch disk. Using a sharp, floured knife, quarter each disk into 4 wedges (pie slice shape).

Place the wedges wide apart on a prepared baking pan. Apply egg wash evening over wedges, allow wash to dry several minutes, then apply again.

Bake scones for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm but not dry. Be careful not to let them get too brown.

Pan: I just put them on an ungreased baking sheet, but recipe states to cover the pan with parchment or foil.
