Рецепт Strawberry & Chocolate Chip Scones
Strawberry
season is just starting and so there are a lot of recipes popping up that use
fresh strawberries. Most of these recipes are perfect for bringing out the
sweet and juicy flavors in the berries. Also, in a lot of places u-pick farms
are starting to open so you can get the freshest berries. In the summer I love
visiting farmers markets to see all of the fresh produce and crafts
available.
Where we used
to live there were two year-round farmers markets and it was so much fun to go
visit and see what we could find. One of them was outdoors and one of them was
part indoors and part under shelters which was as good as inside most of the
time. Where we live now I only know of one farmers market but it's not year
round I don't think. I'm sure there are more, I will just have to look
around.
These scones
are a little more like a dense cake then a traditional scone, but I wasn't sure
what to call them and scones seemed to fit the best. I added regular chocolate
chips and they complemented the strawberries really well. You could also use
mini chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips. Using sanding sugar on the
top would be a nice addition too, I'm all out for now or I would have. I love
the sparkle of the sugar on the top. You just can't get the same look with
regular granulated sugar.
This recipe is
written to serve four but you could easily cut them into six or eight. It makes
about an 8-9" circle. I had intentions of serving these with butter but I
ate them warm with nothing added to them and they were delicious.
