Chocolate Chip Scones Are Delicious

By Anthony Cook


Anyone who has ever had the delight of biting into a delicious scone knows just how wonderful they are. There are practically unlimited occasions in which these tasty baked treats can be enjoyed. The next time you're having a fancy party or just want something good to munch on for dessert, consider chocolate chip scones.

While there are numerous people can say that they enjoy these pastries, not everyone agrees on how they are pronounced. Since they are popular in so many different parts of the world, it is only natural that different people would end up saying the word in different ways. Depending on where you are, you might hear it pronounced so that it rhymes with the word "gone, " whereas in other places it might be that it sounds like it rhymes with "cone."

There are a few different theories as to where the word scone originated, but when is generally agreed to be the early 1500s. Schoonbrood from Holland and bannock from Scotland both may have been influential. Eventually, these came together to be known as scones.

Originally, a scone started out large, round, and flat. It was then cut into triangles to be served. Nowadays, these pastries have a much thicker texture thanks to the invention of baking powder.

It is a good idea to check the local bakery or even just the bakery in the local supermarket to see if they make a good scone there. Before buying a whole bunch for a big party or event, it is always best to try one just to make sure they are up to your standards. Also always remember that fresh is best, and a stale scone will never taste quite right.

As the old expression goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself. The same goes for this delicious food, and there is certainly no better way to get exactly what you want in a recipe than to experiment in your own kitchen until it is perfected. It might take some extra time and effort, but it will definitely all pay off when you, your family, and your friends bite into the deliciousness of a fresh baked scone.

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.

Many people have coveted family recipes for this kind of thing. It is worth it to ask relatives if they have one. These can often be much better than recipes used by commercial bakeries.
