Something to Bake

The turkey feather may be on display and you have had your left over sandwich for lunch today and probably, have taken time out to read the newspaper and see all the Christmas ads and all the ideas for filling trays....well our paper had a scone recipe and I thought I might as well try it as I love scones and have not made them in a very long time.
I didn't have all the ingredients as they called for, but that is not unusual in my kitchen, but I followed most of the recipe and not having cinnamon baking chips I settled for those good old  chocolate ones.   It worked.   So here is a recipe for scones that you might want to make up for a special breakfast or a special person on your list...fast and easy and oh so delicious.

Cinnamon Chip Scones
2-1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1teaspoon all spice
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teasoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/cup of 1 percent low-fat milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups cinnamon baking chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine flour and the next seven ingredients (flour through salt)
With a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles course crumbs
