In case you have not noticed yet, I loooooove chocolate. I love chocolate almost too much, as two-thirds of all my recipes have something to do with cocoa or dark chocolate. Anyhow, I guess you, guys, have to live with it, haha. #chocoholic
Anyway, these bad boys are not only scones, scones so good they’re basically cookies. They’re moist, soft, fluffy, and made with baking powder like scones, but decadent tasting, flavourful, and have a crispy outside like cookies. It’s a sconookie (?)!! Okay, that’s a horrible name. I’ll just call these cookie scones instead. In addition to being totally fab, these are made with whole grain rye flour (say whaaat?). It’s a grain I really think isn’t used enough in baking and cooking. Let me tell you, switching out some of the flour in your pancakes to rye flour makes them so much more delicious, and hearty. You can of course substitute the rye flour to some other flour, but I really think it brings the recipe to another level with its nutty heartiness.
As always, enjoy, guys!
I used classic fine rye flour to give this recipe an extra oomph of nuttiness
