Chocolate chip scones

This chocolate chip scones recipe is wonderfully tender, lightly sweetened and perfect alongside a cup of coffee for breakfast or dessert

The scones have a very tender texture – flaky like a biscuit and not as cakey as a muffin, but a perfect combination of the two. They aren’t overly sweet, either, except for the chocolate chips, of course.
