So, if you are someone who loves butterscotch, then this recipe is for you. I was actually craving these scones after a get-together with our friends.
My friend Amanda was passing out Dum-Dum lollipops to the kids, and she was tossing out the butterscotch ones. Kids don’t like those, and so she figured no one else would. Well, I get that. Most people don’t prefer the butterscotch flavor or the root beer one, but for me, those are my favorites.
So once I started having these delicious little dum-dums, I was thinking about this recipe. No matter if you like the dum-dums or not, you will love this butterscotch chip quick recipe.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Then, add 1¼ cup of all-purpose flour and 1¼ cup of yellow cake mix. I used the Betty Crocker cake mix, but all yellow cake mixes will work.
Step 4: Cut in the Butter
Then, using a pastry cutter or two butter knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
For this process, you are just cutting the butter into smaller pieces, so that it is evenly distributed into the dry ingredients. This process will help the scones bake evenly and taste so delicious.

Step 5: Add the Heavy Whipping Cream

Step 6: Add Butterscotch Baking Chips
Then, add a cup of butterscotch baking chips.
Step 7: Mix
Next, mix all the ingredients together. At one point, you’ll question if this is going to work out, and trust me, it will. Just keep mixing.
Step 8: Form a Circular Disc with the Mix
Then, take the ingredients, and literally, dump them onto a silpat mat or parchment paper.
This is not pretty, but it will work. Form the ingredients into a circular disc as best as possible. Smooth the mixture together, and it will all come together nicely.

Then, bake the scones for 15 minutes and enjoy.
You can ice the scones or put a little powdered sugar on them. They are delicious just as they are too.
