Fall is in the Air

Cinnamon Chip Scones. All-time favorite recipe.

Ingredients

2 c flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 egg yolk; save the white for the glaze

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup heavy cream

Method

Combine the first 5 ingredients.

Cut in 1 stick of butter.

Add 1 cup cinnamon chips.

Next, combine the following ingredients and add to the flour-

1 egg yolk

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup heavy cream

Using a large spoon, stir the dough ingredients until fully combined and holding together.

Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment using your hands, or a rolling pin shape the dough into a square or rectangle that is 3/4" thick.

Using a knife, cut into the size scones you want. You can shape them into circles and cut wedges, or use a scone pan.

I pop the tray of scones in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375˚. Some recipes say 425˚, but 375˚ works for me,

Brush the tops of the scones with the egg white and sprinkle with raw sugar, or if I had thought of this earlier, cinnamon sugar would be nice.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
