Cooking and traveling are two of my greatest pleasures. On a trip to Ireland several years ago, I had the joy of tasting such marvelous scones that I just had to re-create them at home. This is a great scone recipe, and it works even without the butterscotch chips - but be sure to try the recipe with them at least once.

I love this recipe, only that in Mexico sometimes it's difficult to find butterscotch chips, can you think of a substitution in case I don't find them?
Thank you!
