Chocolate Chip Scones

Chocolate Chip Scones

I don’t know about you, but whenever anyone offers me a scone, the first thing that pops into my head is… I’m going to need a very large glass of milk to go with it. Most scones I’ve tried seem to be very, very dry.

A few weeks ago, I was visiting a relative and, lo and behold, they mentioned that they were going to bake a batch of scones. They assured me, however, that these scones were going to be very moist and not the least bit dry.

When the scones were ready to sample, I was quite surprised to discover that they were indeed very moist and very tasty. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so many scones in my life, they were that delicious. And I didn’t even need one drop of milk.
