Coffee - Pecan Scones

2 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. soda
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c butter, cubed
1 T. instant coffee granules dissolved in:
1 T. vanilla
1/3 c. whipping cream
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 (or more) cup pecans
1/3 (or so) cup mini chocolate chips


Mix dry ingredients; cut in butter to resemble bread crumbs. Stir in vanilla/coffee, whipping cream, and sour cream. You may need to add a little more whipping cream. The batter should be like biscuit dough.

Stir just until moistened, pat into circle on floured surface and cut into wedges. Place in pan, brush with more cream and sprinkle with sugar. I used coarse sugar. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
