[tigereye]

he is my hero! They are soooo good. I recently found cinnamon chips in a local grocery and voila!

1. Yummy!

I love cinnamon. We add it to our ground coffee in the percolator every day. It's supposed to be good for the heart and blood, I think. It's a great spice.

:hi: tigereye!

[tigereye]

13. Hi Shine!

[Benfea]

2. Sounds like you married well.

Enjoy the scones!

[ThomCat]

4. CINNAMON CHIPS?!

OMG!!! I would so be in heaven!

[tigereye]

15. I was so surprised to find them!

I hadn't seen them anywhere else and I was going to look into ordering them online.

5. Put the coffee on, I'm getting in the car and coming down there!

I love scones and coffee. I've had to give up sweets since New Year's though, and boy am I jonesing for a good scone! :9

[tigereye]

16. He makes really good scones

next time there's a meetup, I'll try to bring some. Hoping to actually meet you in person someday!

6. What are cinnamon chips made of?

I presume it's not just straight cinnamon - given the size of the lumps that would be somewhat over-powering.

It's good to see that he's looking after you.

[tigereye]

17. no they were quite small with a sugary, but peppery taste

kind of intense, actually.

yeah, he's a good egg.

7. I will trade you one bowl of homade venison chili

(with beans)
for two cinnamon scones.
What's your fax number?

8. Could you post the recipe please!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[tigereye]

18. ok, here it is

Cinnamon Chip Scones

Ingredients

2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda, sieved
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar, plus additional for dusting
1 stick butter
1 c cinnamon chips
1 egg, separated
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c buttermilk

Directions

Combine the flour, baking powder and soda, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the cinnamon chips. Combine the egg yolk, the vanilla and the buttermilk; stir this into the dry ingredients until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-10 turns. Divide the dough in half and pat each half into a 6-7 inch circle. Cute each circle into 6 wedges. Brush each circle with lightly beaten egg white, dust with sugar and transfer the wedges to an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown. Cool ona wire rack, after 5 min. cover loosely with a dish towel until completely cool.

[Cathyclysmic]

[miss_american_pie]

14. Where did you find cinnamon chips?

Yum

[tigereye]

20. surprisingly in a regular grocery store!

I was surprised, I had been looking around for a while, and was thinking about ordering them online, or something.

[miss_american_pie]

21. Giant Eagle, Kuhn's, Foodland?

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen them in my GE.

[tigereye]

22. In the Kuhns that used to be a ShopnSave at

N. Hills Village Mall.

I looked for them in the GE, no luck. An upscale crocery was going to be my next try.

[miss_american_pie]

26. Thank you

I have to run errands later anyway, so I'll just do them there.

[tigereye]

27. sure

where are you? :hi:

I'm in the East End.

I miss the old Kuhns, but there is a lot more variety in the new one.

29. West View

I haven't been in a new Kuhn's yet. I didn't know they bought any S-n-S until last weekend. My older kid likes the playrooms at GE, so I usually shop there.

:hi:
