Ingredients

3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided

These were good - nice and moist but lacking cinnamon flavor. Next time I will add a bit of ground cinnamon or maybe cinnamon /sugar mixture on top. But I will definitely be trying them again!

This recipe is awesome! It's a Christmas morning tradition.

These scones are fabulous! I put them together on a saturday night and just baked them right out of the fridge on Sunday morning. Wonderful with your morning coffee, taste like a cinnamon roll in scone form.

Very good and easy to make, however, next time I will cut down on amount of cinnamon chips

I baked half and froze the other half formed and cut into wedges on a plate. Mmmmm was all my 4 and 9 y/o kids could say! I baked the frozen scones at 425 for 25-28 minutes covering with foil to prevent over browning the last few minutes. Gave those to my mom who said they were the best scones she had ever had! And she really likes scones........ Also used raw sugar instead of regular on top for a little more crunch.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes! My husband and I are addicted to them! I am thinking of making them for Christmas gifts this year, so the freezing-before-baking will be very handy. I am wondering too, what's the recommendation on temp and time for baking the frozen scones?

Love this recipe. I take the dough and divide it into half and then half again. Then I put chocolate chips in one, white chips in another, dried cranberries,(soak in warm water and they stay soft) and the cinnamon chips. I also drizzle them with powder sugar icing. Took them to work for a holiday lunch and they were a hit. I have found that the buttermilk is the secret to these scones, as I have made some with out the buttermilk and they were dry. Great Recipe!!

I made these at Christmas for the first time and they were a big hit. Soooo yummy and moist. I just made another batch & baked half; the other half I formed and cut into the 6 wedges, froze them on a plate, then wrapped them individually to freeze for other times. I see that many people feel that freezing these & then baking them right from the freezer makes them even better so I'm really looking forward to them, but bake for how long? There's quite a difference between the normal 10-3 minutes & the only other time I saw of 50 minutes. How long have others baked them (and at what temp) from the freezer?

These were a total hit with my family on Christmas morning. I'll try to reduce the butter next time. That's a lot and they were practically frying on the oven.

I haven't made these - YET (so the rating is for the cinnamon chips themselves!) ... but I wanted to reply about where to get cinnamon chips (I have an oatmeal cinnamon chip scone recipe I make all the time). A couple years ago - they were easier to get all year round. I find they are more available around Christmas. Walmart carries them, so does Jewel (in the midwest), Kroger (in the south) as well as Lowes Foods and Food Lion. I asked a local Food Lion to order a case for me one year - I think there were 12 bags in the box. You could try asking your local grocer to order these from Hershey. OR - go to the Hershey's website and at the bottom of the page there is a "locate hard to find products" and you can find a location near you that is selling them. Good Luck! (There are MANY uses for cinnamon chips!)
