Easy and Delicious Cinnamon Scones
Cinnamon chip scones drizzled (and a few smothered) in sweet glaze
These are the easiest scones you’ll probably ever make, and they simply melt in your mouth. The creaminess of the glaze, working with the spice of the cinnamon chips, makes them the perfect treat for your breakfast line-up. Also, these come together in one bowl. That’s right, people. This recipe is delicious and cuts down on your dishes. What more could you want?
I use Hershey’s cinnamon chips for this recipe but feel free to use another brand if you have one you prefer (to be honest, I didn’t know cinnamon chips existed before this recipe). This recipe comes to you from my Aunt Marilyn, who is a real queen in the kitchen and first brought a tub of these irresistible scones to our yearly family reunion at the Outer Banks. These scones may seem small when you’re cutting them into wedges but they puff as they bake, making them the perfect treat for a hungry crowd.
Whether you want to add a sweet to your breakfast table or a treat to have with your afternoon tea, these scones are the perfect pairing for any occasion.
Yields: 16 scones
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
1 cup cinnamon chips
1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Sift your flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a bowl. Stir with a fork to combine. Add in your cinnamon chips and combine
Form a well in your dry ingredients and pour in 1 ¼ cups of heavy whipping cream. Combine with your fork until the dough holds together
Dump dough onto a floured surface and knead 10 times. Your dough will be kind of sticky, don’t worry
Split the dough in half and form two balls. Flatten each ball into 7-inch wide discs and cut each into 8 wedges
Place on your baking tray about 1 inch apart
Bake 10-12 minutes until just barely golden. Remove from the tray and cool completely on a wire rack
To make your glaze, sift ½ cup of powdered sugar over 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and whisk to a smooth consistency
Drizzle your glaze over your cooled scones and allow to set at room temperature, until the glaze is no longer sticky to touch
Enjoy!
