Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cup of sugar. Stir in the milk and mix just until the dough starts to come together (it will be sticky). Add in the chocolate chips, mixing just enough to get them incorporated.

Place dough onto a floured counter top and knead briefly, just enough to bring the dough all together. Use your hands to pat the dough down into about an 8-inch circle.

Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat making sure that the scones dont touch.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Makes 8 scones.
