I made scones! (again...) I know, I know, I already made scones...well those were savory and these are sweet! I love love love love these scones! I first tried the recipe out at work and they went over great! The scone itself is not overly sweet, it's nicely spiced, not over powering. I would eat these every morning if I would make myself make them all the time.
I don't have an amazing story about these, except for the fact that they are awesome. So I'm just going to jump right into the recipe for you. Please try them!
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Scones
yield approximately 8 scones
egg 1 each
baking powder 1 Tablespoon
brown sugar 1/2 cup
ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons
flour 2 cups
salt 1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla 2 teaspoons
unsalted butter, cold 6 Tablespoons
heavy whipping cream 3/4 cup
Icing
powdered sugar
cinnamon
water/cream
Preheat oven to 350 F
Combine all your dry ingredients. Add butter in cubes with paddle attachment until the mixture is crumbly. Then slowly add your vanilla, eggs, and cream. Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
Form dough into a thick even circle on a floured surface. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on parchment lined sheet pan and bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes, or until firm.
Let cool. Then to make icing: just combine powdered sugar with cinnamon, then add either water or cream until the consistency desired. Add more powdered sugar if too runny, add more liquid if too thick. And then ice your scones and enjoy!
