The Fluffiest Moistest Ever Chocolate Chip Scones

This recipe is slightly modified from an all-star scone recipe on allrecipes.com there, it has over 1,000 5 star reviews, yet is not featured on this site at all! Before, having these scones, i'd never really encountered one i liked - they were always much too dry and crumbly. This scone recipe seriously changed my view on scones forever. Plus it is super versatile. I use chocolate chips but feel free to subsitute, blueberries, dried fruit, nuts or whatever you can think of!!
