Better Cinnamon Chip Scones

I made these the other morning fully expecting them to be not quite as good as the regular recipe (posted here a few months back) but they were in fact better! Try this out:

1C unbleached all purpose flour (I use King Arthur)
1C whole Wheat flour
2T sugar
1T baking powder
2T wheat bran (Bob's Red Mill brand)
2T ground flaxseed meal (same brand as above)
1t cinnamon

Mix all of the above together then cut in

7T unsalted butter

mix in 1/2 C king Arthur cinnamon chips

Mix together the following and then add to the flour/butter mixture:
1 egg
1/3 cup heavy cream + 1% milk to equal 1/2C total
1t vanilla

**If the mixture is not coming together readily, just add milk by 1/2T until you can form it into a knead-able dough.

Mix and knead until dough comes together. Form into 2 balls and flatten each into a disk. Cut into wedges. Bake on parchment lined sheet at 425 for about 12 minutes. Makes about 8-10 scones depending on size.
