Ingredients
  • 3¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup cold butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 pkg cinnamon flavored baking chips (Hershey's makes them and they are located in chocolate chip section)
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • sanding sugar ( I like to use red for Christmas.)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, ⅓ cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened.
  4. Fold in chips.
  5. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently until dough is no longer sticky. Divide in half; gently pat or roll each portion into a 7 in circle.
  6. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  7. Cut each circle into six or eight wedges. You can also cut the wedges at a diagonal and half them to make mini scones.
  8. Separate wedges and bake at 425 on an ungreased baking sheet for 10-13 min. or until lightly browned.
