Strawberry Choc.-Chip Scones

I am loving all the fresh fruit that I can buy right now. In fact I think I have only eaten fruit today...... And when the fruit starts to "turn" before I can eat it all, I find a recipe to use it in. And that is just where I got the idea to make these.

 Strawberry Choc.-Chip Scones

*adapted this from  Cook with Sara's: Strawberry Scones*

2 Eggs

1/2 C. FF Sour Cream

1 C. FF Milk

4 1/2 C. Flour

1 1/2 C. Sugar

2 TBSP. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Salt

1 C. Margarine; cubed in pieces

2 C. Fresh Strawberries; chopped

1 tsp. Almond Extract

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 C. Mini Chocolate Chips

Preheat Oven to 425

Start by beating together the milk, sour cream, almond extract, cinnamon and eggs then set aside.  In a large bowl or mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the pieces of Margarine and cut together until well blended. Next add the cho.-chips and coat with flour mixture.Doing the same with the strawberries. Pour in the wet ingredients, stir well. Turn out onto a parchment lined sheet pan, forming into 1 or 2 rounds. Using a lightly sprayed knife cut into the  desired portion size. I then sprinkled with just a bit more of sugar.

Bake on middle rack in the oven for 20-24 minutes or until center is done. Make sure to allow the scones to totally cool before separating.

*Some things you might want to add: coconut, almonds, orange or lemon zest. You could make a nice glaze to top it off as well.

*Note: These are NOT a sweet scone*

Happy Baking!
