These scones were phenomenal! Decadently delicious, light and fluffy. I coarsely chopped the butterscotch chips before adding them and also added about 1/8 cup more whipping cream because the dough seemed a little dry. I had to cover the top of the scones with foil during the last 5-7 minutes of baking time to keep them from getting too brown (something about the butterscotch maybe?) So delicious...they were gone in less than a day!
