This recipe is super easy, quick and uses one bowl. I've used chocolate chips in it here, but you can just as easily substitute other stuff like 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, or 1/2 cup (or more) raisins, etc.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup margarine or butter
7/8 cups of milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Blend dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Cut in margarine with a pastry blender.
Dump milk all at once into bowl and combine with a fork to form a ball. Turn out on a floured board, need a couple of times. Flatten with a rolling pin to make a circle about one inch thick. Score round into 8 or 10 pieces. Place onto a greased pan or use parchment.
Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
