German Scones with Cinnamon Honey Butter

I have been on the hunt for a scone recipe. Now, I really want one that is similar to what you find at a restaurant here called Chuck-A-Rama. I found this version on Cafe Zupas blog, which also has restaurants here. This is a place I have been before and it was fabulous. These German scones with cinnamon honey butter turned out wonderful. They aren’t exactly like the ones at Chuck-A-Rama.
For those of you that know the fast food restaurant called Sconecutter, these are very similar in texture to their scones. I also love the scones at Sconecutter. My favorite is with cinnamon honey butter. So with the cinnamon honey butter recipe that was included with the scone recipe, you have a very good copy cat recipe of that version from Sconecutter.
This dough was easy too make. I loved that the dough went into the fridge until you were ready to use it. I made this in the morning and at dinner time I just rolled out the dough and fried them up. It would be great to make the night before and then it would be ready for you in the morning. It would make a fabulous breakfast. This dough was very easy to handle too.
I must tell you it made a ton. I think it was around 24 scones. Definitely a keeper. It got thumbs up all round with my family.
