Cinnamon Scones

  I used to make scones every Sunday for breakfast. That doesn't happen very often anymore, which is too bad because they are delicious and we all like them, but I work every third Sunday and when I don't work I like to sleep a little bit. Scones are a little time consuming, but they are worth the effort! Scones are the British version of biscuits but they are flavored and yummy! They are frequently served with jam or clotted cream, but we eat them plain.

 

Cinnamon Scones

2 c. flour

3 tsp. baking soda

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 c. butter, cold

3/4 c. milk

1 bag cinnamon chips

Mix the dry ingredients together. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Add the milk slowly until a soft dough forms. Stir in the cinnamon chips. On a floured surface, form the dough into a thick circle that is about 7 inches across. Cut into wedges (I do 12 wedges, but you can do less if you want) using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
