Simple Chocolate Chip Scones

Time for the Home Baker’s Challenge post for the month! After last month’s savory muffins for which I baked these cheese sausage muffins, this time Priyaakka gave us some sweet and savory scones to try. What is a scone? A scone is basically a single serving bread or cake – or something in between that! That is the advantage of having a scone – you are neither eating a bread nor a cake, so you can treat it either way. Scones can be eaten as such with your cup of tea or with a slather of jam or cheese on top of them.

As usual, I decided to go for a sweet version, but made it really toned down as far as sweetness is concerned. Once I baked them, I didn’t even wait for them to cool. I pulled out one and sunk my teeth into them – they were just melt-in-the-mouth! First of all they are so easy to put together, by the time oven gets preheated, your mix is ready and it hardly takes 15 minutes to bake. As usual, I made half the recipe and once I had a bite, I regretted making only half, but my inner voice told me, “Good you baked only this much! At least you won’t end up eating a lot of it!” Hehe… You can have them just like that like a snack, along with your tea or slather some jam or cream and enjoy them! If it was not for the butter, this would have been something I would love to often make at home – it is that easy! And not to talk about the deliciousness… One more picture could do, right? I sunk my big sweet teeth into this one! Hehe…
