- Choose cake flour for a lighter texture.
- For the best flavor, use dark brown sugar.
- Substitution 1: Replace the heavy cream with coconut milk. The benefit of this substitution is that it is a dairy-free alternative that still provides moisture and flavor to the scones. Additionally, the coconut milk will provide a subtle sweetness and a hint of coconut flavor.
- Substitution 2: Replace the butterscotch chips with dark chocolate chips. The benefit of this substitution is that it will add a rich, deep flavor to the scones and will provide a pleasing contrast to the sweetness of the pecans. Additionally, dark chocolate is known to be a healthier option than butterscotch chips.
Chocolate Chip Scones Replace the butterscotch chips with ⅔ cup of chocolate chips and add an extra tablespoon of dark brown sugar.
Lemon Curd: A tart and sweet lemon curd that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the Butterscotch Pecan Scones. It adds a nice contrast to the scones and provides a delicious complement to the flavors.
Cinnamon Whipped Cream: A light and fluffy whipped cream that is infused with cinnamon and sugar. It adds a nice contrast to the tartness of the lemon curd and brings out the sweetness of the Butterscotch Pecan Scones. It also provides a delicious balance of flavors and textures to the dish.
