1/3 cup butter chilled cut into small cubes
1 Tbs shortening- to grease baking sheet
3- 4 Tbs flour for kneading
* will make enough for 5-6 batches of scones, keep in refrigerator in air tight container

Preparation

1 Place all the filling ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine until you have a mixture that resembles a mixture about 2-3 times as thick as  cornmeal with no lumps larger than small peas.  Place in airtight container and hold in the refrigerator. 2 Pre heat oven to 425º.  with the rack in the cener of the oven. 3 Lightly grease a baking sheet with the shortening. 4 In the bowl of a food processor place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and pulse until you have a mixture the consistancy of cornmeal. 5 Place this mixture into a bowl and add the milk and egg and stir lightly until all are combine thourouhly. 6 On a clean work surface place a light dusting of flour and on top of this spoon 2-3 Tbs of the Cinnamon mixture, place the Scone mixture on top of this and top that with another 2-3 Tbs of cinnamon and a light dusting of flour.  Gently knead this mixture about 10 times to combine (the secret to a great scone is to work the dough as little as possible; as the more you work it the tougher the dough becomes).  Form into a ball and cut in ½.  Form each half into a ball and flatten out to about ½"- 1" thickness.  Cut each round into 6 pieces  and place on the greased baking sheet.  Place into the oven and bake for 12 minutes until risen and cooked through and lightly browned on top. 7 Place onto a wire rack to cool slightly. 8 Best served warm with softened butter. 9 If you liked this recipe a quick visit to our blog would help us out immensely: www.rantsravesandrecipes.com
