Description

Scones that taste like a cross between cinnamon sugar toast and a snicker doodle.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SCONES:
  • 2 cups Flour, All Purpose
  • 1 cup Oatmeal, Uncooked, I Use The 5 Minute Variety
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, Unsalted, Cold And Cut Into Cubes
  • ¾ cups Whole Milk
  • 1 whole Large Egg, Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE SWIRL:
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Whole Milk, Or More As Needed

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine.

Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbles.

In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla until mixed, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Batter will be thick.

For the swirl, in a small bowl mix the sugar with cinnamon and pour on top of the scone mixture.

Swirl in the cinnamon sugar mixture. You just want to evenly distribute it without overmixing.

Drop mixture by using 2 large spoons or an ice cream scoop if you want large scones. If you want smaller scones, use less dough per scoop. Mine made 7 but could have easily made 10-12. I made them very large.

Bake for 11-13 minutes. They will be lightly browned and firm to the touch. Do not overbake. Let cool a couple of minutes on the baking sheet then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely. (I missed this step and left them on the baking sheet.)

While the scones are cooling, make the glaze. In a bowl mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1-2 teaspoons milk. You can add more milk a teaspoon at a time until you get the consistency you like. I only used half the original recipe for the glaze and it was plenty. You can, of course, double the glaze if you need more.

Once the scones are cool, drizzle the glaze with a whisk or fork by going back and forth across the scone with the glaze, holding the whisk or fork about 2-3 inches above the scone.

Make sure you have a piece of parchment under the scones or under the cooling rack, depending on where they are when you are glazing them.

These are a delicious way to start the day. Give them a try and I guarantee you won’t regret it.

Serves 7-12 depending on size.

These are very good. I use a good cinnamon and pass on the glaze.

These were wonderful! I used half the amount of cinnamon and double the glaze and they were great.
