Chocolate Chip Scones
Make a quick bread even quicker with the addition of a convenience product. Low-fat baking mix shortcuts the process because the flour, salt, and baking soda are already added in the proper ratios—allowing you to be a baking rock star, in less time, with less fuss.
Semisweet mini chocolate chips complement the currants beautifully.

Chocolate-Cherry Scones
These scones use our homemade Biscuit Mix flavored with bittersweet chocolate and dried cherries. Freeze a batch and reheat by microwaving at HIGH just until warm. Or pop a scone in your toaster oven, and bake at 300° for 10 minutes.
While chocolate and cherry is a heavenly combination, there are others: Try toasted pecans and dried apricots, diced crystallized ginger and lemon zest, or dried cranberries and orange zest.

Dried Pear and Cardamom Scones
Scones, like biscuits, are most tender when handled minimally. So have your ingredients ready, and use a soft touch when mixing and patting the dough.

Pumpkin-Parmesan Scones
Canned pumpkin puree makes these scones moist and tender, and it imbues them with the antioxidant beta-carotene. Pumpkinseed kernels add nutty crunch. Serve with a hearty vegetable soup or a meaty stew.

Cornmeal, Jalapeño, and Fresh Corn Scones
Once baked, jalapeño peppers add relatively mild heat. If you want to tame it even further, reduce the amount of pepper or omit it. Or substitute serrano chiles for a spicier version.

Blueberry-Pecan Scones
Make these scones a day or two ahead, and store in an airtight container. Resist the temptation to knead the dough; doing so would break apart the tender blueberries. Leftover scones are nice with tea later in the day.
