Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Scones

I love scones so much, I keep a stick of butter in my freezer whenever a craving strikes! These are by far my favorite, but some other scone recipes I often make are Delightful Apple Scones, Lemon Cranberry Scones and even these savory scones.

I tested them out on some friends, and they loved them so much, we ate them all before I got to take pictures, so I had to make them again. No worries, chocolate makes everything better!

How To Freeze Scones

You can either freeze them before or after baking. If you prefer to bake the scones first, let them cool completely and transfer them to a resealable bag or airtight container before freezing for up to 1 month. Defrost for 1 hour at room temperature then warm the defrosted scones in an oven preheated to 300F for 5 to 10 minutes.

To freeze the scones before baking, cut the scones out and put them on to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment (parchment paper). Freeze the scones on the sheet until they are solid, then transfer them to resealable bags or airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake the scones direct from frozen, as directed in the recipe, but allow an extra 2 to 5 minutes baking time.
