Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
2 cup All-purpose flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking soda
3 tbl Sugar
1/3 cup Butter, well chilled and cut up
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1 lrg Egg
TOPPING (AMOUNTS ARE APPROXIMATE):
2 tbl Heavy cream
2 tbl Brown sugar, UNPACKED (must be broken up and granular)
1 tbl Sugar
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (400 if using convection). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

In large food processor bowl, mix first 4 ingredients. Add butter chunks and process until crumbly. Add buttermilk and egg, stirring in
*just* until moistened. Be very careful not to overwork the dough.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently pat out into a circle approximately 7" in diameter. Using a sharp knife, divide into equal triangular pieces (makes 6 pieces). Use a large spatula to transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet.

Generously brush tops of wedges with heavy cream, then brush a second time with cream. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon and combine with a fork until all ingredients are mixed and sugars are grainy. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over tops of wedges.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until scones are lightly golden. Tops of scones may crack a bit with the sugary topping, but this is desired.

Serve immediately.

Makes 6 triangle-shaped scones.

NOTE: scones are best served when fresh and warm from the oven.
