The cinnamon taste in these scones is extremely subtle.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ pinch baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 (10 ounce) package cinnamon baking chips
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Place 3/4 cup butter into the freezer for 1 hour. Cut into cubes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl using a whisk. Cut in very cold cubed butter with a pastry blender or using your fingers until you get coarse crumbs.
- Create a well in the flour mixture; add buttermilk and stir gently until dough is just moistened. Fold in cinnamon chips.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until dough is no longer sticky, 10 to 12 times, and divide in half. Pat or roll each portion gently into a 7-inch circle. Brush melted butter over circles. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Separate and place scones on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 13 minutes. Serve warm.
- You could also bake on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat.

I followed the recipe religiously, and they turned out to be wonderful!! Nothing like cinnamon at the holidays…
This is one really tasty scone!!! My wife says they’re actually better than Starbucks…. What a compliment!
Very good. I used a little less sugar to keep it a little healthier. Next time I make it I might add a little bit more baking powder, just as a preference.
loved them – very flavorful
These scones were very good, but I prefer scones with dried fruit in them (dates, currants, raisins, cranberries, apricots or blueberries).
