Thank Goodness For Chocolate Chip Scones

By Anthony Cook


There are sure to be some people out there who don't care for the flaky, sweet, tasty goodness that is a scone, but those individuals are not likely to be reading this article right now. People who do enjoy chocolate chip scones know that it is hard to find a situation that doesn't suit them perfectly. Whether you're having friends over for tea, going out for coffee, or just having a craving for something sweet, these are a great option.

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."

Like many different words, there is not exactly a clear point of when and where it originated. Most people agree that it was sometime in the early 1500s, when a number of obscure names for foods with similar qualities were somewhat blended together. Schoonbrood is a type of bread that came from Holland, and the bannock was a Scottish food which, when cut into smaller pieces, bore a striking resemblance to the scone we know and love today.

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.

One quick and easy way to pick up a scone or two is simply by stopping off at the local bakery or grocery store. Before buying a whole dozen, it might be a good idea to sample one first. It's easy to tell if their recipe off or if the pastries just aren't quite fresh.

Some people just have to take things into their own hands, and those individuals might consider making their own baked treats from scratch. There are numerous recipes to choose from online, and with enough time and resources, a home chef can experiment until they are completely satisfied with the taste and texture of their finished product. The payoff is getting to eat the delicious things, as well as sharing them with family and friends if there are any left over.

One of the best ways that a scone is served is with a hot pot of tea, and this is the traditional way it was served in Britain. Many people also find that the pasty goes incredibly well with coffee because the sweetness compliments the taste of the coffee so well, and the hot coffee helps the flaky scone melt in your mouth. Some people just love to have a scone for dessert with a tall glass of milk.

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.
