Cinnamon Chip Scones with Maple Glaze
Ingredients
- 2 C. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Soda
- 4 Tbsp. Crisco® Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening, cubed
- 1/2 C. cinnamon chips
- 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 beaten egg
- 3/4 C. buttermilk
- 1/2 C. powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Maple Grove Farms® Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp. Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Tbsp. milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the cubed shortening and sugar into the flour mixture and then rub it in with your hands.
- Add the cinnamon chips and stir to combine.
- Make a hollow in the flour mixture, then add the beaten egg and buttermilk. Mix until just combined. (reserve a little bit of the beaten egg to brush the tops of the scones before they go in the oven)
- Flour a surface and your hands, then flatten the dough into a square. It will be very sticky, but using generous amounts of flour will help to keep it from sticking. Cut crosswise into triangles and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or in a greased scone pan if you have one). Brush the tops of the scones with any beaten egg left in the bowl from earlier. Top with some additional cinnamon chips.
- Bake at 425° for 10 minutes, then lower temperate to 350° and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the scones are cooling, make the maple glaze. Add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla to a bowl and whisk to combine until smooth. Add the milk and stir to combine. You may choose to use a little less or a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the maple syrup over the cooled scones. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
