Cinnamon Swirl Classic Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together. Roll the dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the dough. Roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the longer side.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 8 equal pieces. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Classic scones with a cinnamon swirl have a rich history dating back to the 16th century in Scotland. These delectable treats were originally made with oats and cooked on a griddle, evolving into the buttery, flaky scones we know today. The addition of a cinnamon swirl brings a delightful warmth and sweetness to the traditional scone. Renowned chefs like Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood have popularized this variation on their baking shows, while quaint tea rooms in the English countryside and bustling bakeries in New York City have perfected the art of crafting these indulgent pastries. For the best version of this dish, seek out a bakery that uses high-quality cinnamon and fresh, creamy butter to achieve the perfect balance of flavors. Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea or as a standalone treat, classic scones with a cinnamon swirl are a timeless delight for any occasion.
