Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup cinnamon chips (optional)
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter till the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cinnamon chips.
- Beat the egg and milk together in a separate bowl; add to dry ingredients, stirring just till the dough clings together.
- Knead dough gently on lightly floured surface, 12-15 strokes until smooth. Divide dough in half. Shape into ball and pat into a 6 inch circle, about ½ inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut each circle into six wedges. Place wedges on ungreased baking sheet (do not have sides of wedges touching).
- Bake at 425 degrees till golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
Notes
My original scone recipe calls for dried currents. I like the different taste of the cinnamon chips, but consider experimenting with other additions. Take care in using fruit because in the cooking process, fruit will add moisture and upset the balance of ingredients.

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! And I hate to be so ignorant – but what are cinnamon chips? I love cinnamon with a passion and I am certain I will delight in the scones ! Once I know what cinnamon chips are 🙂
You can find cinnamon chips next to chocolate chips and butterscotch chips at your local grocery store. However, they tend to be seasonal and are most often available at Christmas, so I stock up for the year! My original recipe called for currents so I just substituted the same amount of cinnamon chips. i love blueberry scones that I find in bakeries and I would like to know the trick of using blueberries without turn the scone purple or adding extra juice. Hints, anyone? 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing this link. I checked over the recipe and it sounds simple and straight forward, pbobably has more of a cinnamon punch than store bought chips. And yes, cinnamon chips seem to only be available around Christmas. Thank you for sharing the link with us!
