These are even fantastic without the butterscotch chips! You can even use chocolate chips, coconut, dried fruit such as raisins, dried cherries etc. Use only very cold unwhipped whipping cream for this scone recipe, milk will not produce the same effect. These are really good!

Tips:

  • To achieve a flaky texture, use cold butter and grate it into the flour mixture. This will help create pockets of steam during baking, resulting in a light and airy scone.
  • Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to the scones and helps keep them moist. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or cream.

Conclusion:

These butterscotch scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich butterscotch flavor and flaky texture, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give these butterscotch scones a try. You won't be disappointed!
