Description

I have subbed half of the all-purpose flour with white whole wheat flour with pretty good results. The scones are a bit more dense but still delicious. If doing so, its important not to overflour (using a scale to weigh the flour can help as well as not packing the flour into the cup when measuring). The base scone recipe is very lightly sweet (meaning, not very sweet at all) which is perfect when paired with the sweet cinnamon chips and the light sprinkling of sugar, but if you are tempted to change up the add-in(s) or omit the sugar on top, you might want to increase the sugar in the dough just a bit. Speaking of cinnamon chips, the variety I use are on the miniature spectrum (similar to a mini chocolate chip) which means they easily find their way into all the nooks and crannies of the scone dough. If you use the cinnamon chips from your every day grocery store (similar to regular-sized chocolate chips), you might want to increase the amount and add 1 1/2 cups since they wont distribute as evenly as the mini ones.I almost always use a food processor to mix up scone or biscuit dough. Its an awesome tool to avoid overmixing the dough. If you dont have a food processor, cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two butter knives. If doing so, youll want to get the butter/flour mixture incorporated together until the butter is in pea-sized or slightly smaller pieces before stirring in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon or large spatula. Its definitely doable to make these without a food processor so dont let that be a deal breaker.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups (17.5 ounces) all-purpose flour (see note above about whole wheat flour)
  • 1/3 cup (2.75 ounces) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized chunks
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (5 ounces) cinnamon chips (see note above)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a food processor (see note above if you dont have one), combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is cut into smaller pieces - dont overprocess here; the butter should be no smaller than pea-sized pieces.
  • Add the buttermilk and vanilla and pulse a couple of times until the dough starts to come together; don’t overmix - it’s ok if there are dry, crumbly spots here and there. Remove the blade and add the chips, using your hands to knead them in a bit. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with 1-2 tablespoons flour and combine the dough and chips together with your hands, kneading briefly, just 2-3 times, until it comes together. Pat and lightly press the dough into a long rectangle, about 15X3-inches.
  • Cut the length of dough into triangular wedges, about 12-14 and place on the baking sheet, about an inch apart. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes until just lightly golden brown and no longer doughy in the center.
