Cinnamon Scones

 Cinnamon Chip Scones

3 1/4 c. flour

1/3 c. sugar

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 c. cold butter, cubed

1 c. buttermilk

1 (10 oz.) pkg. cinnamon baking chips

2 T. butter

Put parchment paper on a large baking sheet.  

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.  Cut in the butter until the 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 the dough is no longer sticky.  Divide in half; gently pat or roll each portion into a 7 inch circle.  Melt the butter.  Brush the rounds with the melted butter and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.

Cut each circle into 6 wedges.  Separate the wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake at 425 degrees for 10 - 13 minutes or until lightly browned.  Serve warm.
