A very common Scotland pastry is a scone. If you like cinnamon and scones then this is the recipe for you. This recipe I learned from my grandma and they taste soooo good so I decided I would share this recipe! I hope you enjoy this and if you want you could make a very thin icing with it!

Makes: 8 scones 

Prep time: 10 min

Cook time: 25 min

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoon sugar
• 2 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• 1 stick butter sliced and cold
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 egg
• 1 cup cinnamon chips
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Drop-in your cold butter, and using a pastry cutter, mix until you have a wet sandy texture. The colder the butter the better so if you want, stash the mixture in the freezer for a few minutes.
4. In a small bowl mix together the cream, egg, and vanilla
5. Pour into the flour mixture, being sure not to over-mix. Work in with your hands as if it is biscuit dough. 
6. Once mixed add in cinnamon chips and fold in with your hands
7. Make into a disk on your parchment paper about 8” across
8. Cut into 8 pieces
9. Pull apart enough to keep them from baking into each other
10.  Bake for 20 to 25 min., until golden brown
11.  Enjoy!
