Cinnamon Chip Scones

These cinnamon chip scones are perfect for a weekend brunch or a busy workday. I recommend serving warm out of the oven!

Ingredients

3-1/4 cups flour* I used 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour + 1-1/4 cups all-purpose, but all all-purpose will work just as well
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp sugar divided
2-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup cold butter
1 cup buttermilk**
1 package 10 oz. cinnamon-flavored baking chips
1 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

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-inch circle. Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Cut each circle into eight wedges*. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm. ENJOY! Smile
*Note: Cut the wedges into whatever size desired. You can cut each circle into 6, 8, or 12 wedges. Just be sure to adjust baking times.

Notes

6 wedges = 12-15 minutes
8 wedges = 10-12 minutes
12 wedges = 8-10 minutes
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, just mix 1 tbsp lemon juice with enough milk to equal 1 cup. Let sit for 5 minutes.
