Using a 2-3\/4 inch round biscuit cutter, cut the scones out of the dough, rerolling scraps as necessary.\u00a0 You can use a 3 inch round biscuit cutter, but the scones are a bit too large in my opinion. When cutting the scones out, push the cutter into the dough using a straight up-and-down motion.\u00a0 Then spin the cutter and cleanly lift it from the dough. Place the scones on the prepared pan. Let the scones rest for 1 hour uncovered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#1e1e1e&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;36px||36px|&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; animation_intensity_fold=&#8221;5%&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;rgba(51,51,51,0.1)&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Step 7:<\/h5>\n<p>Preheat your oven to 390 degrees while the scones are resting.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#1e1e1e&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;36px||36px|&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; animation_intensity_fold=&#8221;5%&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;rgba(51,51,51,0.1)&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Step 8:<\/h5>\n<p>Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top, about 15 minutes.\u00a0 This recipe makes about 14 scones.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/depadova.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250301_171037-scaled.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;20250301_171037.webp&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Additional Recipe Images Row&#8221; module_class=&#8221;no-print&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_module=&#8221;476&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_comments _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_comments][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I loved the original Starbucks Cinnamon Chip Scones and was disappointed when they stopped selling them many years ago.\u00a0 I even tried a few of the copycat recipes on the Internet, but I was never happy with the results.
