Milk chocolate scones

 As I promised that I will post the recipe today ^^.

But I had to wait until this evening, ^^" because I didn't have internet access for all day. Anyway here the recipe that many people ask for : Milk chocolate scones.
Milk chocolate can be too sweet if add to other recipe as it has its sweetness, so I adjust the sweetness to suit it. I don't use egg in this recipe, to let the milk chocolate flavour show. Adding the chocolate after mixing the dough will make the scone more beautiful and the chocolate won't interfere the texture of the dough ^^.
Refrigerate the dough before baking, set the fat in the dough and make the dough rise beautifully too, but if you in rush you can skip this step.
Serve this scone with cream and jam if you like, don't forget a cup of tea to make a perfect afternoon treat.
Enjoy!!
