The Many Wonders Of Chocolate Chip Scones

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 is some disagreement as to how the word scone initially developed. In the early 1500s, there were a few different apparent influences, such as the Dutch schoonbrood, or spoon bread, and the Scottish bannock. Eventually, the best qualities of these baked foods were brought together to create the treat we know and love.

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 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.

There is no substitute for home cooking, and sometimes all it takes is a little experimentation. With all of the great recipes that are available for free online, a person can do as much trial and error as they have the time and resources for. No matter how hard it might seem, it will always be worth it when you and the people you love are enjoying the finished product.

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.
