Cinnamon & Butterscotch Scones

Buttermilk Scones with cinnamon & butterscotch
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar divided
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup cold butter sliced
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 5 oz each cinnamon and butterscotch chips
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix slightly.
  • Next, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in buttermilk and combine until just combined.
  • Fold in the chips.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead gently 8-10 times or until dough is no longer sticky.
  • Divide the dough in half.
  • Gently pat each section into circle. I find it is easier to work with your hands.
  • Now, brush each circle with butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • Cut each circle into six wedges.
  • Separate wedges and place on a baking sheet topped with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 425° for 10-13 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Serve and enjoy!
