Granted, I've only made a few different recipes... but I am in love with the ease and simplicity(give or take) of making scones!
Maybe its the geometric triangles that I get to cut into a huge slab of dough...
or the fact that I get to use my hands to knead and shape the dough...
or maybe just the warm acceptance of everyone ooh-ing and aah-ing at scones. Fancy!
Plus, I get to use ingredients that I already have, and I even get to use stuff I've been meaning to use up (ahem - heavy cream).
So - back to the scones. Michelle of Brown Eyed Baker posted recently a walk down memory lane... which led me to this recipe!
However, even though for once I actually had enough heavy cream (Thanks Costco!), I ran out of dark chocolate chips!! That's a first. So I just threw in a mix of whatever opened bags of chocolate chips I had lying around... white, mini, semisweet, milk...
This dough was SUCH a joy to knead and shape. I was almost giddy.
And this near giddyness led me to sprinkling on some happy colorful sugars! It's so innocent and sweet... like rainbow sprinkles on a doughnut. If you don't like that, then sorry - we can't be friends. (Just kidding, please be my friend.)
My scones however didn't seem to brown on the top... that was disappointing. It came out pale and bleached looking. Hmmmmmmmm.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the scones - they look great, I love the sprinkles on top! As far as them not browning - did you brush them with the melted butter before baking? That should do the trick!
I love eating scones - but I never made them! I shall have to change that. Hearing how happy you get from making them - I want that happiness too! They look scrumptious.
