Ingredients
Scones:
- 100 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 30 g cubed cold butter
- 35 ml milk
Filling
- 1-2 tsp milk
- 20 g brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Glaze
- 30 g icing sugar
- 5 g melted butter
- 1 - 3 tsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 f and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Stir together the flour and baking powder and then rub in the cubed butter until you no longer have any large pieces of butter.
- Stir in the milk using a blunt knife or a fork. Once the dough has mostly come together use your hands to knead it once or twice to smooth out the dough. The trick to crumbly scones is to knead as little as possible so try to avoid over kneading at this point.
- Roll out the dough to thickness of about 1 cm. You want a skinny rectangle that is longer than it is wide. I would suggest trying to keep it about 3 - 4 inches wide.
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush the scone dough with milk and then press the sugar mixture down onto the dough.
- Roll up the dough starting from the narrow edge so that you get a log that is 3 - 4 inches long.
- Slice the dough into 3 - 4 scones and lay them on the baking tray. Brush them with any remaining milk and then bake for about 15 minutes, or until the scones have risen and are golden brown.
- While the scones are baking mix together a quick glaze. To do so put the icing sugar in a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Add the milk a tsp at a time. You don’t need to use all the milk, just use enough so that you get a thick icing. If you want to add flavor you can stir in a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla extract or even some more cinnamon!
- Once the scones are ready let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing over top. These are best eaten the same day so pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!
