English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones
Nice recipe. I tried these scones about 5 years ago as the "first" scones I've ever made. Had difficulty working the dough and it was too dry, and like extra reviewers ended up adding a but more liquid - in my case 2 Tbs of heavy cream. Everythings better with heavy cream! At variouse times I've added a bit extra orange juice if I don't have cream.
I tried the recipe with some of the added suggestions and was not impressed with the texture of the scones after adding more then 2Tbs or so extra liquid. A Tbs or two makes you able to pat the dough into a round, but it is still crumbly and can be hard to work with; however, this also gives you the wonderful flakey scones that I love. Adding additional liquid makes the scones easer to work with, less crumbly, but they also end up with the more biscuit like texture, which seems like a waste of all that careful cutting in of the butter. Both ways are quite edible and I love the flavor.
