Mmmmm. My favorite!
I actually did make these to send to my daughter for her birthday, and she got almost the entire batch. It's very hard to resist fresh scones.
2 c. flour
1/3 c. sugar (Next time I'm going to make them with 1/8 c. sugar.)
2 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4. t. salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. mini chocolate chips
2/3 c. HalfnHalf
1 t. almond extract
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 c. dried blueberries, dusted with flour
OR 1 pkg. (6 oz) blueberry juice-infused Craisins
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in butter.
In a small bowl, beat egg, halfnhalf, and extract.
Add chocolate chips.
Mix all ingredients together, stirring until mixture is just evenly moist. Do NOT overstir.
Drop large spoonfuls onto greased jelly roll pan
Bake 15-18 minutes at 375 degrees F.
Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes on pans, then remove.
These will disappear quickly.
Optional: Powdered sugar glaze (not pictured)
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 T. halfnhalf
1/2 t. almond extract
Drizzle over tops of cooled scones
Makes 11 large (3"-4") scones
Clotted cream would be a good idea too.
Do you see why I had to eat one of these??
Okay, two!
Okay, two!

Your daughter is lucky!! I love scones...these look so delicious!!!
You had me at the word scones! I can't wait to try these!!!
And they were so delicious even after being mailed all the way to Texas! I ate too many of them. :) Thanks Mom!
I was JUST thinking that scones sounded wonderful! Clearly this is a sign that I'm intended to make them ... :)
Okay, the April tea party.........
Scones. Yum! I've never seen anything but the orange-flavored Craisins....will have to look. Thanks for this recipe!
We love scones and your recipe looks delicious. Thank you for sharing and you have a nice day!
Yum. You had me drooling with the mention of chocolate chips and blueberries. These look amazing. You were good to only have eaten two. I could probably eat the entire batch.
Delicious! Blueberries are one of my favorites! And chocolate! What could be better! I have made something similar, they had a tad more flour in them, so you rolled and cut. I also used evaporated milk instead of half and half.
Whenever I've tried scones they turn out heavy and dry. Any tips?
Goodness that looks good! I'm collecting ideas for a breakfast I have to serve the first week of April. These just made the list of choices! YUM~!
Never heard of this before. Within reason, I like anything within blueberries in.
They almost look like they might be good for you.
By the way, I'm not sure of the proper pronunciation for Jervaulx. I always say Yervoh but I might be wrong.
Now your making me hungry. got to the bottom of the post where is says
This post is linked to. read down the last but one Fat Camp Friday! Mmm just start cutting back on sweet things!!
Have a good week

Such a pretty blog. This really looks good...can't wait to give it a try. I would love for you to join me for What's On the Menu Wednesday whenever you can. Thanks again for sharing.
Yum! We love scones. Thank You for sharing.
These look fabulous. I haven't made scones before - but this is one of my new goals. I may have to give these a try!

I just love visiting your blog! This recipe looks delicious! I am going to have to make this recipe! Thank you for your comment about visiting my Dad's grave. That co-worker was talking about her mom when she said there would be a day I would no longer think about my Dad. You were right in saying it was insensitive. I hope you are doing well my friend! My cousin was visiting from Spain and asked me about your soap that she really loved! I will be ordering some for her soon! She loved the raspberry soap. We all love them! :) Have a great night!

OMGosh, my mom makes these!! They are simply melt-in-your-mouth joylicious!!!!!
Oh, my! These sound so amazing!
Ooo, how scrumptious!!! If no one knew I was making them I probably would have eaten them all :)! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
These scones look fabulous! I'd love to have one for breakfast- or anytime for that matter :)
Judy, I love scones! I have never made them though. They look so yummy. I love the blueberry chocolate combination. You've inspired me to give them a try. I'm copying the recipe for this one. Thank you for sharing!
Ahh, I would have loved one of these this morning. I think I'll give these a try.
xo,
