Delicious Cinnamon Roll Scones Recipe for a Cozy Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

10 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps.
  3. Cut in the Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.

    Use a pastry cutter or your fingers for best results.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

    Make sure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing.
  5. Form the Dough

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

    Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
  6. Add Cinnamon Filling

    Roll out the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture, then roll up.

    Tightly roll to maintain the swirl effect.
  7. Cut into Scones

    Slice the rolled dough into 8-10 pieces and place them on the baking sheet.

    Leave some space between each scone for even baking.
  8. Bake

    Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

    Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  9. Prepare Glaze

    While scones cool, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

    Adjust the milk for desired consistency.
  10. Glaze and Serve

    Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and serve warm.

    Enjoy with coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
