Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter
1 cup buttermilk
1 (10 ounce) package cinnamon baking chips
2 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the cold butter, with a pastry blender, until it resembles course crumbs.
Stir in buttermilk until moistened.
Fold in cinnamon chips.
Knead gently (10-12 times) or until dough is no longer sticky on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough in half. Then gently roll each portion into a 7 inch circle.
Brush each circle with melted butter.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Then sprinkle the mixture onto the circles (You can add more sugar and cinnamon if you like).
Cut each circle into six wedges. Then separate the wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 425 degrees for 11-13 minutes or until lightly brown.
