Cinnamon Scones
- 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.)
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, ⅓ 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 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 sanding sugar.
- Cut each circle into six or eight wedges. You can also cut the wedges at a diagonal and half them to make mini scones.
- Separate wedges and bake at 425 on an ungreased baking sheet for 10-13 min. or until lightly browned.
