CHOCOLATE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Beat eggs, sour cream and vanilla in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended.
• Add to flour mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Stir in chopped chocolate.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead about 1 minute or until smooth.
• Place dough on greased baking sheet and pat into a 10-inch circle. Score top of dough with sharp knife into 12 wedges. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool slightly on wire rack.
• Melt and drizzle additional semi-sweet chocolate over scones, if desired. Cut into 12 wedges to serve.

CINNAMON-SUGAR CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (a silpat works, too).
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your own two hands (rub handfuls of flour and butter together between your hands, letting the mix fall back into the bowl) until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the chocolate chips/chunks.
• In a small measuring cup or bowl whisk together then buttermilk and vanilla.
• Add the wet to the dry. Stir just until the dough comes together.
• Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead dough gently 4 or 5 times to make it more uniform. Pat dough out into a ~7 inch circle ~1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the circle in half, then cut each half into 4 pie-shaped wedges.
• Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush with the egg wash (beat together the egg and tbsp of milk).
• Mix the cinnamon sugar and sprinkle liberally over the top of the scones.
• Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• If you don't want to use the chocolate chips, you can add the same amount of a different mix-in. We like dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins) when we're in the mood to switch things up a bit.
• If you don't own a pastry cutter or don't want to deal with cutting in the fat by hand, you can also do the whole thing in your food processor. Pulse the mixer in short bursts to cut in the fat and then combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Pull the dough out and gently knead in your chocolate chips by hand. Proceed with the recipe as normal after that.

CINNAMON-CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• In a large mason jar, using parchment paper as a funnel, carefully pour in the dry ingredients in alternating layers. Line container with tea towels and place all items inside. The recipe card should read as follows:
• To make your cinnamon-chocolate scones, start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the dry ingredients. Grab a stick of butter from the refrigerator, cut it into pieces, and with the mixer running, and add the butter and mix until coarse and sandy. You should still be able to see small lumps of butter. Head back to the refrigerator and grab the milk. Measure out a cup and a quarter, then add it and mix until almost combined. Next, add the chocolate chunks and mix just to distribute them evenly through the dough. Do not overmix; there may still be some flour not mixed in.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times to bring it together and smooth it out. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick. Using a the biscuit cutter, cut out circles. Using a spatula, transfer to an ungreased sheet pan. Knead the scraps together just until combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. When they're all done, serve with honey and jam. YUMMY!
