I have never made Choc Chip scones myself but found this recipe on google:



Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons applesauce
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2 In a large bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda,salt and sugar. Add the applesauce, water and milk; mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop large rounded spoonfuls of batter onto prepared baking sheets.
3 Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Makes 12 scones

I usually make just plain scones and follow this recipe:

2 cups flour
2 TBLS sugar
1 TBLS baking soda
1/2 teasp. Salt
6 TBLS butter
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup milk

Shift together all dry ingredients
Cut butter into dry mixture, mix well
Add egg and milk to above mixture, knead gently (12 to 15 strokes) do not over knead.


Divide dough in =, shape into 2 balls, place on baking sheet and roll out to about 6 inch rounds. Cut into 6 wedges
Bake at 425 for 12 to 15 minutes (until firm and lightly browned)

this is my favourite scone recipe. it is so easy to make.


Ingredients:

4 cups of self raising flour
1 carton (about 300mls) of cream (pouring cream or thickened it doesn't matter but
lite cream isn't good for cooking)
300mls of water.

You can add fruit or cheese if you want (pumpkin is good too)

combine all ingredients and mix until sticky
grease and flour tray/baking sheet
cut into shapes - i use a glass (or if i am feeling lazy i put the whole lump on the tray and use a knife to cut into slices before i bake it.)
brush the tops with a little milk (helps them to go nice and golden)

then bake in a pre-heated oven at 220 degrees until brown (bout 15 minutes depending on your oven)
