INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter or margarine
• 1 egg, separated
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl beat egg yolk with honey and buttermilk until blended. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, mixing lightly just until mixture clings together.
• With floured hands, lightly shape dough into a flattened ball. Roll out on a floured board or pastry cloth to a circle about 1/2 inch thick and 8 1/2 inches in diameter. Using a floured knife, cut into 8 or 12 equal wedges. Place on a greased or nonstick baking sheet.
• In a small bowl beat egg white slightly with water. In another bowl blend sugar and cinnamon. Brush scones lightly with egg white, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake until golden brown (10 to 12 minutes). Serve warm.
