Cinnamon Chocolate Scones Recipes

CINNAMON SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone, then set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture and toss to coat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the half and half, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be a little rough and shaggy, but should hold together.
• Gently pat the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle that is approximately 8 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
• Gently roll the dough up, starting on the wider side, to form a long tube. Cut the dough into ten even-sized pieces, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon milk. Add additional milk, as needed, to make a smooth and somewhat runny glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let set.

EASY CINNAMON CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Place 3/4 cup butter into the freezer for 1 hour. Cut into cubes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl using a whisk. Cut in very cold cubed butter with a pastry blender or using your fingers until you get coarse crumbs.
• Create a well in the flour mixture; add buttermilk and stir gently until dough is just moistened. Fold in cinnamon chips.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until dough is no longer sticky, 10 to 12 times, and divide in half. Pat or roll each portion gently into a 7-inch circle. Brush melted butter over circles. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Separate and place scones on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 13 minutes. Serve warm.

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-SUGAR CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (a silpat works, too).
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your own two hands (rub handfuls of flour and butter together between your hands, letting the mix fall back into the bowl) until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the chocolate chips/chunks.
• In a small measuring cup or bowl whisk together then buttermilk and vanilla.
• Add the wet to the dry. Stir just until the dough comes together.
• Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead dough gently 4 or 5 times to make it more uniform. Pat dough out into a ~7 inch circle ~1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the circle in half, then cut each half into 4 pie-shaped wedges.
• Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush with the egg wash (beat together the egg and tbsp of milk).
• Mix the cinnamon sugar and sprinkle liberally over the top of the scones.
• Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• If you don't want to use the chocolate chips, you can add the same amount of a different mix-in. We like dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins) when we're in the mood to switch things up a bit.
• If you don't own a pastry cutter or don't want to deal with cutting in the fat by hand, you can also do the whole thing in your food processor. Pulse the mixer in short bursts to cut in the fat and then combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Pull the dough out and gently knead in your chocolate chips by hand. Proceed with the recipe as normal after that.

THE BEST SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 and 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar**, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 and 1/2 tablespoons baking powder.
• Wet ingredients: In another medium bowl, add 1 egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla (omit for savory scones), 1/3 cup cream and 1/3 cup sour cream. Whisk it together. Set aside.
• Cut in butter: Now back to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the COLD or frozen butter. You can also grate the butter using a cheese grater and mix it in that way. Cut the butter in until it is incorporated and there are still pieces of butter about the size of a pea. Don't overdo it! See photos.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir it together until it forms a shaggy dough.
• Coat your hands with flour and finish kneading the dough in as few strokes as possible. (Overworking the dough makes for a tough scone.) Use your hands to fold the dough on top of itself, creating more and more layers until it has come together and all the flour is incorporated. You can add a tablespoon or two of ice cold water if you think it's necessary. I try to get the dough to come together in 5-8 folds. Do your best and remember that you will get better with practice!
• Mix-ins: At this point add in any mix ins you plan to use. (If you want to add cream cheese like you can see in the photos, chop an 8 ounce block of cream cheese into 1/2 inch chunks. Coat with 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl, making sure all the cream cheese is coated. Carefully fold into the dough.)
• Prepare a work space with plenty of flour. I like to use a pastry cloth. Transfer the dough to the work place and use your hands to shape the dough into a 6 to 8 inch circle. I like really thick, tall scones. The thicker your circle of dough is, the taller your scones will be. If you added mix ins, your circle will be a bit larger.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the circle in half. Cut each half into 3 equal triangles.
• Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Place the scones at least 3 inches apart from each other.
• Freeze for 30 minutes.*** If you don't have room in your freezer, you can put them in the fridge for 45 minutes. If you don't have room to chill a whole baking sheet, place the scones on a plate and then transfer to the baking sheet when they are frozen/cold.
• 15 minutes before the scones are done freezing, turn your oven on to 400 degrees F.
• Place the cold scones on a baking sheet if you haven't done so yet.
• Brush the top of each scone with cream. This will make the scones get nice and brown. Top each scone with coarse sugar if you like, or a bit of salt if you are doing savory scones.
• Bake: Put the scones in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Turn the heat down to 375 without opening the oven.**** Bake for another 8-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE. This is where the magic happens, so stay nearby. If you over bake your scones, they will be dry even if you did everything else right. If you are not sure, use a spatula to lift up one of the scones. If they are a nice golden brown on the bottom, they are done.
• Remove from the oven and let set up on the pan for 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: in a small bowl, whisk or use an electric beater to cream 2 tablespoons of very soft butter. Add 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk together and add more milk until you have a consistency you like. Drizzle over the tops of the scones and let harden (it usually takes 20-30 minutes.)
• Top your scones with butter and jam! They are great reheated in the microwave.
• Store scones covered on the counter for 2-4 days. They are best eaten on day 1 so that you can get those crispy edges. After storing for a while it's hard to avoid a bit of sogginess. (Starbucks solves this problem but leaving them out in the air, but then eventually the center gets dried out. So, pick your poison. Or just eat all 6 scones single handedly on day 1. No judgment here.)

CINNAMON-CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• In a large mason jar, using parchment paper as a funnel, carefully pour in the dry ingredients in alternating layers. Line container with tea towels and place all items inside. The recipe card should read as follows:
• To make your cinnamon-chocolate scones, start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the dry ingredients. Grab a stick of butter from the refrigerator, cut it into pieces, and with the mixer running, and add the butter and mix until coarse and sandy. You should still be able to see small lumps of butter. Head back to the refrigerator and grab the milk. Measure out a cup and a quarter, then add it and mix until almost combined. Next, add the chocolate chunks and mix just to distribute them evenly through the dough. Do not overmix; there may still be some flour not mixed in.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times to bring it together and smooth it out. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick. Using a the biscuit cutter, cut out circles. Using a spatula, transfer to an ungreased sheet pan. Knead the scraps together just until combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. When they're all done, serve with honey and jam. YUMMY!
