Honestly, I was amazed at how delicious these scones were. They were so light and flaky. Wow! I could have eaten all three in one sitting, but I managed, with some difficulty, to make them last two days. They were amazing, and the glaze on top was the perfect finish. I will definitely be making these again... soon!
Cinnamon Sugar Scones
Adapted from: Money Saving Mom
Scaled down to make 3 small scones (see original website for full yield version)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold butter
1 teaspoon yogurt (I used fat free vanilla, but plain would work too.)
scant 1 tablespoon honey
scant 1/8 cup milk (if in doubt, start with too little; you can always add more if it's not enough)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Cut in butter using a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a small bowl and then add them to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to mix the dough until it forms a ball.
- Divide the dough into three sections and pat out until they are about 1/2 inch thick, and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Brush the tops with a very thin layer of milk. Combine 1/2 tablespoon sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over scones.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- While the scones are baking, stir together the following ingredients to make the glaze: 1/4 cup powdered sugar, scant 1 teaspoon milk, 1/8 teaspoon vanilla.
- While the scones are still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. (When I make these again, I probably won't use the entire batch of glaze just so it isn't overpowering.)
- Eat while warm! Refrigerate any leftovers, and reheat in the microwave before eating.
Also, here is my tart from Thursday that I didn't get a chance to post: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake Tart!
The photo isn't great. But this time, I finely chopped some of my sugared strawberries and stirred them into the cheesecake pudding. Then I drizzled some melted chocolate chips on top! It was sooooo good! Also, I can't wait to make a s'mores version with chocolate pudding and toasted marshmellows on top!
Have a yummy weekend!
