Cinnamon Sugar Scones

I love to bake at night once the kids are in bed. I made this last night and accidentally almost ate half of it. It tasted great with a little bit of butter and cold glass of milk. However, I had a little bite the next day and realized that this is enjoyed the most while its still warm!- Christine
