Butterscotch Drop Scones
Toni Cascio of Owings Mills, Maryland, writes: "Cooking and traveling are two of my greatest pleasures. I went to Ireland several years ago and had such marvelous scones that I just had to re-create them at home." This is a great scone recipe, and it works even without the butterscotch chips. One cup of dried berries, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or dried cherries can be substituted, if you like.
