Recipe for Cinnamon Scones

by Karen Rose Smith



When I developed the cinnamon scone recipe for my latest cozy release, MURDER WITH CINNAMON SCONES, it became a favorite.  I've made it multiple times.  I hope you like it too!



Daisy's Cinnamon Scones
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2 cups all-purpose flour1/3 cup granulated sugar plus 2 tablespoons1 teaspoon cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon in dough and 1/2 teaspoon mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar)1 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon salt8 tablespoons (1 stick) grated unsalted butter (I let it sit out 5-10 minutes before grating)3/4 cup cinnamon chips1/3 cup ground pecans1 large egg3/4 cup reduced fat buttermilk
In a large mixer bowl, stir together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add grated butter to flour mixture and beat it in.  Stir in cinnamon chips and pecans.   In a separate bowl whisk the egg with the buttermilk, then mix into flour dough with mixer.  Scoop out eight large scones (I use a 1/4 cup scoop or measuring cup with handle) and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.  Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.  Bake 17-19 minutes at 400 degrees until golden brown.
