Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (a silpat works, too).
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your own two hands (rub handfuls of flour and butter together between your hands, letting the mix fall back into the bowl) until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chocolate chips/chunks.
- In a small measuring cup or bowl whisk together then buttermilk and vanilla.
- Add the wet to the dry. Stir just until the dough comes together.
- Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead dough gently 4 or 5 times to make it more uniform. Pat dough out into a ~7 inch circle ~1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the circle in half, then cut each half into 4 pie-shaped wedges.
- Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush with the egg wash (beat together the egg and tbsp of milk).
- Mix the cinnamon sugar and sprinkle liberally over the top of the scones.
- Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- If you don't want to use the chocolate chips, you can add the same amount of a different mix-in. We like dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins) when we're in the mood to switch things up a bit.
- If you don't own a pastry cutter or don't want to deal with cutting in the fat by hand, you can also do the whole thing in your food processor. Pulse the mixer in short bursts to cut in the fat and then combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Pull the dough out and gently knead in your chocolate chips by hand. Proceed with the recipe as normal after that.

CHOCOLATE CINNAMON SCONES WITH VANILLA SAUCE.
Steps:
- Scones: Preheat oven to 425. In large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Cut in butter until it forms coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Fold in chocolate chips. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Divide in half and pat into 7 inch round circles. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges. Bake at 425 for 13-15 minutes. Sauce: Combine sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 cup boiling water. Let simmer, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Stir in butter, vanilla extract and salt and mix well. Serve over warm scones.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure the butter is cold before grating it. This will help create flaky layers in the scones.
- Work quickly when mixing the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or cream.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon chocolate scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their flaky layers, sweet cinnamon flavor, and rich chocolate chips, these scones are sure to be a hit.
