SWEET COFFEE HOUSE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Mix flour (start with 3 cups), baking powder, salt, sugar and brown sugar, until well incorporated.
• Cut the butter into tiny pieces and mix into the flour mixture. Keep cutting in the butter(or you can use your hands) until you incorporate the butter into the flour and it looks like it's the consistency of cornmeal.
• Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix to form a dough. If dough is too wet to work with, add a little more flour till you have a moist dough, but it's workable. Add your mix ins and mix till well distributed.
• Cut dough in two (or cut in two before adding the mix-ins if you want two flavors) and shape into 2 rounds, 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with sugar and then cut into 8 wedges. Separate slightly to help cook. Cook for 15 - 17 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through in the middle.

COFFEE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, ground coffee, and salt.
• Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork (or your hands), until pea-size pieces form with some larger chunks remaining.
• Stir in cinnamon chips.
• In a small bowl, whisk together cream and eggs. Using a spatula, fold the cream/egg mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
• On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times. Then using your hands, form a circle about 3/4" thick. Slice dough into 8 triangles and place on prepared baking sheet. Brush scones lightly with heavy cream.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes, until scones are just turning golden around edges.
• Let scones cool a bit before drizzling with coffee glaze and sprinkling with additional cinnamon chips.
