Cinnamon Scones

Ingredients

• 1 C of self rising flour (Self rising soda bread flour works best if you can find it.)
• 1/8 t salt
• 2 T butter
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 C buttermilk
• 1 egg white
• 1 t cinnamon
• 2 T sugar

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 425F.

Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl.

Cut the butter into the flour and follow by further mixing with your hands until completely blended.

Make a well in the center and add lightly beaten egg and 1/2 cup of buttermilk.

Using your hands, work the mixture into soft dough, adding remaining buttermilk as needed.

Place dough on a lightly floured flat surface.

Roll dough with a floured rolling-pin until the dough is 1-inch thick.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out 16 2-inch round pieces.

Brush each piece with the egg white.

Combine cinnamon and sugar in a shaker or small bowl.

Shake the mixture over each scone.

Bake 18 minutes or until a golden brown.

Makes 8 scones.
