Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Add cold butter cubes and use 2 forks to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly and refrigerate. Here's a little video for you to see this technique in action.
In a mug combine maple syrup, milk and a drop of vanilla well.
Gradually add the liquid mixture into the dry crumbly mix until most of the crumbs are moistened (you might not need all of it). Avoid overworking this dough, it should stay moistened but crumbly.
Turn the crumbly dough over the parchment. Using your hands shape the dough into a triangle, sprinkle chocolate chips, pressing down and sides gently, without overworking the dough.
Bake 20 minutes and enjoy!

If not using a food scale, use the spoon & level technique to measure your flour to avoid over-packing the flour which will lead to dry baked goods.
The recipe is written for a breakfast scone that is not overly sweet. If you want a dessert scone, add 1 tbsp sugar with the maple syrup. That should do it!
