Scones!

alright. for some reason my camera won't upload my photos from this morning. so, I'll post the scone recipe now, and try to add a picture later.

This is a dee-lish and easy recipe (so easy, in fact, that a caveman could do it)...

1 3/4 cup flour (I usually use about half whole wheat and half all-purpose)
3 T sugar (or less if your kid is around and wants to eat!)
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 (or about that) of something delicious like mini-chocolate chips, or raisins, or craisins, maybe some nuts, etc.
4 to 6 T. of milk

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is fine little crumbs. Stir in egg, chocolate chips (or whatever you like) and just enough of the milk so dough leaves the side of bowl.
3. place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. drop about 9 lumps of the dough on a cookie sheet (sprinkle sugar on the top if you want)
4. bake about 15 minutes or until golden. Immediately remove from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack.
