Scones - First Attempt

My first attempt at scones turned out well! I took Alton Brown's recipe and added semi-sweet chocolate chips to the recipe. I love a chocolate chip scone with some dark coffee in the morning! I was informed that buttermilk helps the scones get puffy and this recipe uses cream. I plan to try another scone recipe with buttermilk next time.

Tips:
- I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream and it worked just as well.
- Cut the butter into cubes (make sure it's cold, but soft).
- Mix the butter and shortening in with your fingers unless you have a dough setting on a food processor.
