About

I’m sure a true Scotsman would keel over at the thought of a chocolate scone. But these are quite restrained, even though they contain three forms of chocolate: milk, bittersweet, and cocoa powder. I use cut-up bittersweet chocolate for the chunks in the scones instead of chocolate chips because the latter are seldom made from high-quality chocolate.
