Cinnamon Sugar Scones



INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups flour
• ⅓  cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼  tsp baking soda
• ½  tsp salt
• 8 T butter, frozen
• ½  cup sour cream
• 1 lg egg
• 1 cup cinnamon chips
• Sparkling sugar
• Cinnamon for top


DIRECTIONS

Mix all dry  ingredients.  Set aside.  Whisk egg and sour cream together in small bowl.  Using a pastry cutter, combine butter into flour mixture until crumbly.  Add cinnamon chips.  Use a fork to stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture.  Don't over mix, just until it comes together. It will look like there is not enough liquid, but it's okay.

Gather into a circle with hands about ¾ inch think, press on sparkling sugar and cinnamon and cut into even triangles.  Refrigerate for at least one hour.  If you skip this step it is OK, they just won't hold their shape as well. 

Bake @ 400 degrees for about 12-17 minutes.

Serve warm.
