Bread Recipe #46 - Cinnamon-Chip Scones

These don't seem to be as dry as some scones are-could be the addition of cream that makes them moister. Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided, 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces, 2/3 cup cinnamon baking chips, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, divided, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon coarse sugar. Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cinnamon chips. Whisk 1 cup cream and egg; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Pat into a 9-inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges. Separate wedges and place on prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining cream. Combine coarse sugar and remaining cinnamon together and sprinkle over tops. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
