Cinnamon Bun Scones
Totally delicious, popular scones recipe!
Servings: 12 scones
Ingredients
SCONES:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup oats (quick or old-fashioned)
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- ¾ cup 2% milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
SWIRL:
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 teaspoons milk
Instructions
MAKE THE SCONES:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 12x18 inch pan with nonstick spray (or line with parchment paper).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, combine the milk, egg and vanilla; blend well. Add to the dry ingredients all at once; stir with fork or rubber spatula- just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- In another small bowl, combine the swirl (sugar and cinnamon). Sprinkle evenly over the dough in the bowl; gently stir the batter to swirl in the cinnamon mixture. (Do not blend completely).
- Drop the dough by ¼ cupfuls (or use an ice cream scoop) 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack; cool 5 minutes.
MAKE THE GLAZE:
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired consistency; mix until smooth. Drizzle over the tops of warm scones.
Notes
- Add in a few cinnamon chips if you can find access to those wonderful treasures.
- I like to whisk in a little bit of cream cheese to the glaze to make it more like a true cinnamon roll glaze.
