Shay's Specialty Scones
The great thing about scones is that the ingredients are items that are usually on hand in the pantry.  And lets get started with Chocolate Chip Scones.

​INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
7 TB unsalted butter
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 
1/2 cup milk

Lemon Scones:  Replace chocolate chips w/ Lemon Zest (lemon skin shavings) and juice from 1 Lemon

Cinnamon & Honey: Replace chocolate chips w/ 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1 TB of honey

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cut in the butter until the mixture is nice and crumbly.  At this point, I just use my hands to crumble the butter and mix it all together.  Fold in the chocolate chips or replacement ingredients.  Mix in the milk to form a dough.

On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 9 inch circle.  Cut into pie shape pieces.  

Transfer to baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 14 minutes.

Grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa and enjoy!​
