CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
• Spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine sour cream and baking soda in a small bowl.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in another bowl.
• Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Combine egg with sour cream mixture, add cinnamon.
• Gently stir into flour mixture until moistened.
• IMPORTANT: knead dough briefly, no more than 10 times.
• Divide dough into two, place on baking sheet and pat into 3/4 inch thickness.
• Cut each round into 6 wedge-shaped pieces.
• Move scones so they are not touching (at least 3 inches), dust with sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 F.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter. The mixture is done when it resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Add the whisked egg and vanilla extract. Do not stir yet.
• With minimal stirring, mix in just enough milk, buttermilk or half-and-half to make the dough stick together. It will be crumbly and there should still be a little bit of dry flour left in the mixing bowl.
• Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured cutting board.
• Knead the dough slightly. When it is done, it should be easy to handle and smooth.
• Gently pat the dough into two (1-inch thick) discs.
• Cut each disc into 6 pieces.
• Transfer the scones to a buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Optional: Turn pan halfway through baking.
• Cool on the baking sheet.

CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl.
• Mix the butter in with your hands, squeezing it between your fingers. The mixture will be crumbly with some chunks of butter.
• In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla together. Then pour it into the butter mixture and mix until just incorporated.
• Put a piece of parchment paper on the cookie sheet. Put the ball of dough in the center, flattening it into a disk approximately 8-9 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep. (It may help to put some flour on the cookie sheet to keep it from sticking).
• Cut the disk into 8 slices. Separate the pieces on the cookie sheet because they will expand and run into each other.
• Bake for 20-23 minutes.

SIMPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425.
• Combine flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl.
• Pour milk into mixture, and stir together with a fork.
• Add softened butter, and knead the butter gently into the dough with your hands until dough is soft (add more flour if it's too sticky).
• Place dough on a floured surface, and flatten until it is a 1 1/2-inch disk. Use a glass to cut out rounds, and place them on a greased baking sheet. If you want, you can soften a bit more butter, brush it over the rounds, and sprinkle with a mixture of 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp sugar.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Serve with anything, especially blueberry jam.
