Ingredients for Amazing Cinnamon Chip Scones

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for topping
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, for brushing
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • Cinnamon Baking Chips
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for topping

How to Make Amazing Cinnamon Chip Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the cinnamon chips.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for just a minute or until the dough is no longer sticky.
  7. Divide the dough in half.
  8. Roll each half into a 7-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
  9. Brush each circle with melted butter.
  10. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
  11. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both circles.
  12. Cut each circle into 6 wedges.
  13. Carefully separate the wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
