Ingredients

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1 tablespoon sugar
3. 2 teaspoons baking powder
4. ½ teaspoon salt
5. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6. 4 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into pieces
7. 1 cup bittersweet chocolate morsels
8. 1 (8-ounce) package feta cheese, coarsely chopped
9. 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold heavy whipping cream, divided
10. Garnish: raspberry jam and raspberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper, whisking well. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add chocolate morsels and feta, stirring to blend.
4. Add 1 cup cream to flour mixture, stirring until mixture is evenly moist. (If dough seems dry, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Working gently, bring mixture together with hands until a dough forms.
5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 4 to
 5 times. Using a rolling pin, roll dough to a ¾-inch thickness. Using a 2¼-inch round cutter, cut 15 scones from dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place scones 2 inches apart 
on prepared baking sheet, and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon cream.
6. Bake until edges are golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes.
7. Serve warm.
