Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream, buttermilk, egg and extract; add to crumb mixture just until moistened. Stir in chocolate chips. Turn onto a floured surface and knead 10 times. Divide dough in half and transfer each portion to a greased baking sheet. Pat into 6-inch circle. Cut into six wedges, but do not separate. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 for 18 to 20 minutes or until puffed and tops are cracked. Remove to wire racks and cool slightly. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle crushed malted milk balls.
