BUTTERSCOTCH DROP SCONES
These are even fantastic without the butterscotch chips! You can even use chocolate chips, coconut, dried fruit such as raisins, dried cherries etc. Use only very cold unwhipped whipping cream for this scone recipe, milk will not produce the same effect. These are really good!
