too many scones!! next time i'll be sure to halve the recipe. and i didn't like how the dough turned out. i was afraid of overmixing so the second the dough kinda held on its own, i quit trying to force it to come together. the dough was really crumbly but i had so much faith! i believed in the recipe until the very end when i opened the oven. i didn't like the chocolate chips in the finished scones either -- they just got in the way. i'm thinking of either making the chips smaller or melting the chocolate next time.
