Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F.
Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers. (The largest pieces should be the size of small peas.)
With your fingertips, flatten butter pieces into small disks.
Add buttermilk, egg and chocolate chips, stirring until dough just comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; pat into a 1/2-inch thick circle.
Place on a greased baking sheet and cut the circle into 8 equal-sized wedges.
Bake 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven, until raised and browned.
Split wedges, and serve warm.
