A vanilla cinnamon mix is always sure to make your house smell amazing!
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup COLD butter, cubed
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or soured milk: ½ Tbsp lemon juice + 1 cup milk)
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • GLAZE (optional): ¾ cup icing sugar + 1 milk + ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  3. Using pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until crumbly.
  4. Stir in white chocolate chips.
  5. In measuring cup, whisk buttermilk with egg and vanilla; pour over flour mixture. Stir with a fork to make a soft, ragged dough.
  6. With flour-coated hands, press dough into a messy ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently about 5 times while gathering it into a smoother ball (your fingers are going to get messy!) Pat/press dough out to about ¾” thickness and cut with 2" - 3” biscuit cutter, re-rolling dough as necessary, working quickly to prevent the butter from getting too warm. Place scones on prepared baking sheets about 1” apart.
  7. Bake at 400º until bottoms are light golden, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.
  8. In small bowl, combine icing sugar, milk and vanilla to make an icing of drizzling consistency, adding more milk if necessary. Drizzle over scones with a spoon or the tines of a fork.
