Cinnamon Chip Scones

APRIL 8, 2015  /  JANELLE PARIS  / 

There is nothing that says "welcome" like freshly baked goods - warm out of the oven. These cinnamon chip scones are no exception. They are buttery, dense, simple , and ready in 20 mins to dip in a cup of piping hot coffee. This recipe was shared on Comfy in the Kitchen and I have kept it a staple for gatherings, bible studies, and meal ministries. You're going to love it, I just know it....

Sift together dry ingredients, then cut in shortening and butter. I simply take two knives and literally do "just that", I cut it in. {You will get a crumbly texture during this step}.

In a small bowl beat egg with heavy cream {You may use half and half or milk- your texture will change slightly}.

Stir.

You will have a thicker cookie-dough-batter-like consistency.

You can add whatever you wish at this point....My choice? Cinnamon chips. Other options are blueberries, raisins, chocolate chips, cranberries, or even savory ingredients such as ham and grated cheese. For a sweet scone you may wish to use an egg wash with a coarse sugar topping. This recipe is so versatile!

Mmmmm...

Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and coat your hands. Take scone dough and shape into a ball, then flatten into a disk.

Cut into 8 slices. Make a cross, then another cross in the other direction...pizza cutters work great doing this.

Place on a baking sheet {I use foil for easy clean-up}.

Bake in a 375 oven for 15 mins until golden in color. Oooo...I wish you could smell these right now!

So rich and buttery...the cinnamon chips melt leaving bursts of flavor throughout the scones.

A wonderful morning or afternoon treat...serve with hot coffee, tea or homemade lemonade.

They are even sweeter, enjoyed with friends.....(or given away!)
