MAPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Maple Cinnamon Scones image

I created this recipe by combining and modifying a few other scone recipes. It turned out nicely -- a huge hit with friends and family! This is a more traditional scone recipe, somewhat (although not exactly) like the kind you would find in England. Feel free to play around with the amounts of cinnamon and almond. The almond can easily be cut down to 1/2 teaspoon if you'd like more of the cinnamon and maple flavor to come out. The maple flavor will be very subtle either way, but always delicious! I prefer them unglazed (and it's healthier anyway)!

Time 45m

Yield 20 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup, plus
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl to blend. Cut butter into small chunks and mix until mixture becomes crumbly.
Stir milk, maple syrup, and almond in a small bowl to blend. Gradually add wet mixture to dry mixture, stirring just until dough forms a ball.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough a few times, but don't overwork it or the scones will be too dense. Roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into triangular wedges. Transfer wedges to an ungreased baking sheet.
OPTIONAL: beat one egg and brush lightly over scones to create a glaze.
Bake scones until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.

Time 2h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup pitted fresh cherries, cut into thirds
4 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup white sugar
8 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 eggs
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Place butter-flavored shortening and regular shortening into a freezer until very cold, at least 2 hours before use. Place cherries into the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes before use.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter-flavored shortening and regular shortening until flour mixture is combined.
Whisk heavy cream and eggs together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until combined. Fold cold cherries into dough.
Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Cut in 1/2 lengthwise; cut out triangles from each 1/2. Place on the prepared baking sheet and place into the freezer to get cold, about 10 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden on edges, about 15 minutes.
Remove scones from the oven and let cool about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar, milk, and cinnamon in a bowl. Lightly drizzle glaze over cooled scones.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately, as this will affect the final product.
Work the dough gently to avoid overworking it, which can make the scones tough.
Chill the dough before baking to help it rise evenly.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
For a sweeter scone, add 1/4 cup more sugar to the dough.
For a more savory scone, add 1/4 cup grated cheese or crumbled bacon to the dough.
Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
