Chocolate, according to ancient Aztec’s, was thought to INVIGORATE MEN and made WOMEN become LESS INHIBITED. They ate chocolate before battle and INTENSE SEXUAL activities. Dark chocolate has proven to induce feelings of PLEASURE due to a RISE in dopamine, the brain’s PLEASURE centers.
Chocolate Chip Scones
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-SWEET chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- BROWN SUGAR to sprinkle
HEAT oven to 400 degrees.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can simply make your own. Just use a cup of milk and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Let sit for about 15 minutes… enough time for a QUICKIE with your partner! You will see a slight curdle, but don’t worry, it is not spoiled and will not change the TASTE of your scones.
You can also add a half cup of dried cranberries or cherries with or without the chocolate chips!
So, to get started, this is a really simple recipe and may also be FUN if you and your partner use your HANDS TOGETHER in the bowl to mix all the ingredients while giving one another LITTLE KISSES in between, but don’t TOUCH!
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or GREASE LIGHTLY. In a LARGE bowl, WHISK flour, SUGAR, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Cut the butter into small pieces and blend INTO the flour mixture LIGHTLY using your HANDS and your partners! It should look like course crumbs, making sure the HEAT of your HANDS don’t melt that butter!
In measuring cup, WHISK buttermilk and vanilla. SLOWLY pour the buttermilk into flour mixture and do not over mix. Now you can add the chocolate chips or dried fruit if you wish.
Transfer dough to a LIGHTLY floured surface and KNEAD the dough TOGETHER, TURNING OVER about 5 times. Flatten to about an EIGHT INCH circle and cut IN half, then cut each half into fourths like a pizza. This should make eight triangles.
You can now sprinkle the tops with BROWN SUGAR if you’d like and bake until golden brown for approximately 15-20 minutes. Time for another QUICKIE!
Buon appetito!
