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!
