Chocolate Chip Skones

This is my custom version of Alton Brown's skone recipe: 

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 egg
• Handful of chocolate chips

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pulse to combine the mixture. Add diced butter and coconut oil. Pulse until fats are incorporated into the flour. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add vanilla. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Also add 1/2 cup buttermilk. Pulse to combine and then decide if more buttermilk is required. Add a handful of chocolate chips and pulse just enough to distribute the chips. Turn dough out onto flour surface. Pat into a pie-sized circle. Using a pastry cutter, cut dough into 8 pie-shaped pieces. Place on baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until tops are golden. Do NOT over-bake!
