  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon

For the Vanilla glaze

  • 1/2 cup Icing sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp Milk 2%

Instructions
 

For the Scones

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream and vanilla until well combined. Set the mixture in the fridge
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cube up the cold butter stick and add it to the dry ingredients.
  • Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are quite small.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet ingredients mixture. Lightly mix the ingredients together in the bowl until you have a shaggy dough.
  • Use your hands to lightly knead the scone dough together just until it becomes a cohesive ball.
  • Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface.
  • Using a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 10" x 14" (25 x 35 cm) rectangle.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Then, mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon
  • Carefully spread the brown sugar cinnamon mixture over the scone dough into an even layer
  • From the longer side of the rectangle, carefully roll up the scones into a tight cylinder (the same way you would roll cinnamon rolls.)
  • Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
  • When you're ready to bake the scones. preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Slice a small sliver of dough off of both ends of the log to reveal the cinnamon swirl. Slice the log into 4 equally sized pieces, then slice each piece on a diagonal to create a triangle shaped piece.
  • Evenly space the scones out on the baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
  • If desired, you can brush a little bit of heavy cream on top of the scones to encourage the tops to brown. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones start to turn golden brown on top and on the bottoms. Note that some of the scones may flatten and some may bake up straight – this is normal and both ways are delicious!

For the Vanilla glaze

  • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tsp. of milk to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together, adding in more milk as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Once the scones have cooled to room temperature, drizzle the glaze over them. Serve and enjoy!
