For the final day, a recipe with one of my daughter’s favourite ingredients. As I am doing Kid’s Delight, I couldn’t skip chocolate. I wanted the recipe to be an easy one as well as loved by my daughter. So decided to make scones. Usually scones are served warm with butter or jam, but these scones doesn’t need any of those. They taste so delicious as it is. The white chocolate chips in the dough gives a nice crisp texture to the scones while the melted chocolate drizzle adds some creaminess. The texture of these scones is more like cake and so my daughter went crazy over it.
I used my eggless cranberry scones recipe as the base for this recipe. The climate was super hot when I made the scones and so I had a really tough time handling butter. I think that is the reason my scones became cake like. So I need to try it again during cooler climate to see how it affects the result. Make sure that the butter is chilled well and even the sour cream you use is also chilled. When handling the dough, do not knead it. Just try to bring it together as a single, crumbly mass. And add milk only if necessary.
