Recipe of the Day - Sweet Cinnamon Scones

Courtesy of The Pioneer Woman (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/sweet-cinnamon-scones/) I love me some scones!! And, with cinnamon? Delish. Can't wait to try these...

Ingredients ■3 cups All-purpose Flour ■⅓ cups Sugar ■5 teaspoons Baking Powder ■½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon ■2 sticks (1 Cup) Unsalted Butter ■¾ cups Heavy Cream ■1 whole Egg ■1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract ■1 cup Cinnamon Chips ■Topping ■½ cups Sugar ■1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon ■1-½ teaspoon Heavy Cream

Preparation Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Cut butter into pieces, then cut into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cinnamon chips. Mix together cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into flour/butter mixture, stirring gently with a fork to combine. Turn onto work surface (mixture will be very crumbly and falling apart.) Gently press together on the sides as you flatten (or roll, with a rolling pin) the top. Form either into a large circle or a large rectangle. Mix together topping ingredients, stirring with a fork. Sprinkle over the top of the dough, lightly pressing. Cut into wedges (from a circle) or triangles (from a rectangle.) Transfer to a cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
