Thank Goodness For Chocolate Chip Scones

By Anthony Cook


When it comes to the scone, there are some people who like them and some people who don't, but the people who do enjoy them absolutely love them. Chocolate chip scones are just one of the many varieties that these amazing treats come in, and there are just as many varieties as there are occasions when they can be enjoyed. No matter what is going on, it is always a great day for a scone.

There is not a worldwide consensus on how this amazing dessert or snack time food should be pronounced. The two general schools of thought are that it should be pronounced so that it rhymes with "phone, " or else so that it rhymes with "gone." No matter how you say it, people everywhere love to eat these things, and it makes sense that different people in completely different parts of the world have their own way of saying it.

Like many different words, there is not exactly a clear point of when and where it originated. Most people agree that it was sometime in the early 1500s, when a number of obscure names for foods with similar qualities were somewhat blended together. Schoonbrood is a type of bread that came from Holland, and the bannock was a Scottish food which, when cut into smaller pieces, bore a striking resemblance to the scone we know and love today.

The way that these treats used to be made is by making them into one large, flat, round piece somewhat like a scone pie. It would then be cut into triangular slices and served. Now it is possible to bake these treats individually.

It is easy to find these delicious treats at your local grocery store or bakery. There is nothing better than picking up a scone or two, or even a dozen, and having them on hand for just the right time. It is a good idea to make sure they are nice and fresh, as freshness can make all the difference, and it is also a good idea to try a scone from a certain place before buying a whole dozen to make sure that they use a quality recipe.

Some people just have to take things into their own hands, and those individuals might consider making their own baked treats from scratch. There are numerous recipes to choose from online, and with enough time and resources, a home chef can experiment until they are completely satisfied with the taste and texture of their finished product. The payoff is getting to eat the delicious things, as well as sharing them with family and friends if there are any left over.

Traditionally, a scone is often served with tea. These pastries are also delicious with coffee. Whether it is teatime or dessert time, there is no wrong time for a scone.

There is no better way to get the best possible recipe for the perfect scone than by asking an older relative such as an aunt or grandmother. In many families, there are secret recipes that have been passed down the generation. These are, in many cases, much better tasting than the ones you would buy in the store.
