As you can tell scones are becoming my new thing! I enjoy them for breakfast but really love to eat them in the afternoon with my coffee or tea!
What I found out recently is that they do not have to be in that traditional triangle shape! Definitely made these a lot quicker to make!
It was a LONG time ago that I talked to you about getting a sugar mill from a friend while I was visiting my in-laws in Italy. I was completely smitten with this little contraption. The best thing about it was that I could refill it.
The only problem with this is that once I got home I couldn’t figure out how to open it!!
Well now I don’t have to worry because T-Sugars has introduced me to their sugar mill!
Totally love it already! And of course I needed to finish off the tops of these Mint Chocolate Chip Scones with an added touch of sugar!

Mmmmmm … love the mint chocolate flavor! And maybe even more than that, I really appreciated your tip about NOT making scones into triangles. What a brilliant idea that just simplifies the whole process – I love tips like that! 🙂
