Cinnamon Chip Scones Recipe

By zircon50

Ingredients

• 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 package (10 ounces) cinnamon baking chips
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Fold in chips.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10-12 times or until dough is no longer sticky. Divide in half; gently pat or roll each portion into a 7-in. circle. Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Cut each circle into six wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 10-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
Yield: 1 dozen.
