Teatime Scones
Melanie
"When I was on a cruise in the Bahamas, I discovered scones. From then on, I have loved scones. Also try with 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips in place of the cinnamon."

Ready In
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour.
- Whisk the 2 cups flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar together in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture until moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for five or six turns. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thick. Cut into rounds with a floured 2-inch cutter and arrange rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the scones have risen and are golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

I added 1/3 c. sugar and about 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon to the recipe. Baked up sweet and soft, excellent breakfast scones! Will be trying them with blueberries next time!

I found this bland and tasteless. It was a buttermilk biscuit. I even used cinnamon sugar on top instead of plain cinnamon. It didn't help much. I know scones are not supposed to be sweet, b...

I should have read the recipe and reviews more closely before diving into making these. These are not scones. They're biscuits. I made some changes on the fly to make them more scone-like (I put...
