Instructions: Some wonderful scone recipes. Here are a couple...

Combine first 5 ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Combine buttermlik, egg and espresso powder; stir until powder dissolves. Add buttermilk mixture, pecans, and if desired, 1/2 cup mini-morsels to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly-floured surface; knead 5 or 6 times. Divide dough in half; roll or pat each portion into a 6-inch circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges, and place wedges 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets.

Brush with milk, and sprinkle with 1 TBL sugar. Bake at 425 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until scones are lightly browned.

Place 1/2 cup mini-morsels in a small heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal.

Submerge bag in warm water until morsels melt. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag, and drizzle over warm scones.
