Oh, YES! Chocolate is always good! My current obsession is lemon and candied ginger but I’m ready for more flavors. And please include some specifics on handling the dough and getting some good rise out of them, too. I am having trouble understanding what is meant by not handling the dough too much. Mine have mostly spread and been too crumbly with very little rise. There has to be some gluten developement to allow the leavening to raise them, right? How much is enough? I can get rise from biscuits, but they aren’t the same moistness as scones. How can I fix that? I’ve watched lots of demo’s on Youtube…’splain it to me, Lucy!

Susan, we must be having a mind meld. I was just asking myself the same question. Why oh why haven’t I shared my fantabulous scone recipes? (Or bread recipes either for that matter.) Well, I must and will amend that oversight! How about heart-shaped cream scones with bittersweet TCHO chocolate and currants for LunaCafe’s All Chocolate All Month, Love Rules! celebration in February?

I am, as usual, late to a food trend; Scones. I know, really late! It’s been years since that trend, but I am really surprised to find none in you recipe file. The idea never appealed to me before because they read like biscuits with sugar..big whoop! Well, I finally tried one recently and now I feel the whoop. So..no whoop here?
