Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Blend flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and sugar in a processor until they look like breadcrumbs.

Add the milk and blend until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and pat into a 2.5cm thick block.

Cut five scones using a floured round cutter.

Press a chestnut into each scone and brush with milk.

Bake on a non-stick sheet for 15 minutes until golden.

Melt chocolate and double cream in a bowl over simmering water.

Dust scones with icing sugar and drizzle with the hot sauce.
