Steps

1. ### Easy Cinnamon Chip Scone Recipe
3. #### Introduction to Cinnamon Chip Scones
4. Cinnamon chip scones are a delightful treat that combine the warmth of cinnamon with the crunch of chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, these scones are simple yet incredibly satisfying. This recipe is designed for beginners and includes detailed steps for a delicious outcome.
6. #### Ingredients Needed
8. - 1 3/4 cups (200g) all-purpose flour
9. - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
10. - 1 teaspoon baking powder
11. - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12. - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
13. - 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
14. - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
15. - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
16. - 2 tablespoons whole milk
17. - 1 large egg
19. #### Step-by-Step Instructions
21. ##### Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
22. - In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar (1 tablespoon), baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
24. ##### Step 2: Cut in Butter
25. - Add the chilled butter cubes to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
27. ##### Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
28. - In another small bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and cinnamon.
29. - Stir in the chocolate chips evenly distributed throughout.
31. ##### Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
32. - Add the brown sugar-cinnamon-chocolate chip mixture to the flour mixture. Gently fold until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
34. ##### Step 5: Incorporate Liquid Ingredients
35. - Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the milk and egg.
36. - Mix everything together gently, just enough to form a dough (about 10-12 gentle turns).
38. ##### Step 6: Shape and Bake
39. - On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough. Pat or roll it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
40. - Use a round cutter to cut out scone shapes; gather scraps and repeat until you’ve used all the dough (you can also pat the leftover dough back together if needed).
41. - Place the scones on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with a bit of milk for a golden finish.
43. ##### Step 7: Bake
44. - Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
45. - Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack before serving.
47. #### Tips and Variations
49. - For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
50. - Feel free to experiment by adding other spices like nutmeg or cardamom for different tastes.
51. - Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite jam for an indulgent treat.
53. By following these steps, you can enjoy easy and delicious cinnamon chip scones that are perfect for any time of the day. Happy baking!
