These are even fantastic without the butterscotch chips! You can even use chocolate chips, coconut, dried fruit such as raisins, dried cherries etc. Use only very cold unwhipped whipping cream for this scone recipe, milk will not produce the same effect. These are really good!

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky scones. When butter is cold, it doesn't melt as quickly, resulting in more distinct layers in the scones.
- Handle the dough gently: Overworking the dough will result in tough scones. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, and then stop.
- Don't over-rise the scones: Over-rising the scones will cause them to be dense and heavy. Allow the scones to rise just until they are slightly puffy.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the scones to rise quickly and evenly. The high temperature will also create a crisp exterior.
- Cool the scones completely before glazing: Glazing the scones while they are still warm will cause the glaze to melt and run off. Allow the scones to cool completely before glazing them.
