These scones are loaded with cozy cinnamon flavor and studded with sweet, gooey cinnamon chips for the most mouthwatering breakfast treat. They're tender, flaky, and easy to make!

  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter, frozen
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or milk and white vinegar, which I used, see note)
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut the frozen butter into small chunks and use a pastry knife to cut into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles peas in sand.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolk and buttermilk (or milk and vinegar) rapidly, for about a minute. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the cinnamon chips; do not overwork dough!
  5. Place the dough on a flat-parchment covered surface and knead lightly a few times. Shape the dough into a round, 1-inch thick, and cut into 6 even triangles, pizza style.
  6. Place the scones on the baking sheet, spaced apart, and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Make sure that a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the scones comes out clean at the end of the baking cycle.

Notes

If you want to substitute milk and white vinegar for buttermilk, add milk to 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a measuring glass to reach the 1 cup line, let sit for five minutes, and use the amount the recipe calls for.
