***Chocolate Pecan Scones***

2 1/4 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup whipping cream or half and half
3 Tablespoons light karo
1/2 cup each chocolate and white chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) coarsely chopped
"raw" sugar (optional)

Mix dry ingredients and butter together until crumbly. Mix whipping cream or half and half and karo together. Add wet and dry ingredients until dough begins to hold together. Add chips and pecans (if desired), turn onto table, and knead a few times. (I just mix the chips into the dough with my hands, keeping the dough in the bowl.) Divide dough into 12 loosely shaped balls. Sprinkle the tops with the "raw" sugar. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 400˚ for 12 to 15 minutes.
