Chocolate Chip Scones

My aunt makes these for breakfast every time I visit - they are a great breakfast with fruit and yogurt and my favorite part of visiting. My mom makes a half batch during the week for breakfast as well. A full batch will make about 30-36 scones depending on scoop size.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 30-36 scones

Ingredients

• 3  eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

5. Add chocolate chips and mix.
6. Gently stir in the egg/buttermilk mixture and stir just until soft dough forms. Don't overmix.
7. Using a cookie scoop, drop dough about 2 inches apart onto well greased baking sheets. I put 12 on a sheet and use four sheets for a full batch.

11. Will keep for several days if kept in an air tight container.
