I made these scones in honor of the newest season of Downton Abbey. My son is a college educated chef and he told me to save this recipe. That is a big compliment coming from a chef. I made the recipe as stated. I may tweak it a bit at a later date, but it was great as it written.

I already wrote a review, but I wanted to share that I double the recipe. I add one whole egg to the scones and a little more flour if needed along with the white chocolate chips. I brush egg white on the outside. These are so easy and a favorite!

These scones are super flakey and delicious. I added a few dark cholcolate chips to mimick the ones I get at an expensive pastery/coffe shop...these are even better, warm, buttery and not too sweet. And this recipe makes just a few so MAYBE I won't be as tempted to over indulge.
