Cinnamon Scottish Scones

I found all sorts of different recipes for Cinnamon Scottish Scones on-line . I tried a few different methods and recipes in developing this blog and this final try came out the best. The cinnamon mixture for this recipe is enough to make a few recipes, the “filling” will keep in an air tight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks; but once you make this I’m sure you will be getting frequent requests to make more.

For the Filling:*

½ Cup of softened butter
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
6 Tbs all-purpose flour

1 large egg (beaten)
2 cups flour
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs baking powder
½ tsp salt
1/3 cup butter chilled cut into small cubes
1 Tbs shortening- to grease baking sheet
3- 4 Tbs flour for kneading

* will make enough for 5-6 batches of scones, keep in refrigerator in air tight container

Directions for Cinnamon Scottish Scones

Place all the filling ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine until you have a mixture that resembles a mixture about 2-3 times as thick as cornmeal with no lumps larger than small peas. Place in airtight container and hold in the refrigerator.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with the shortening.

In the bowl of a food processor place the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and pulse until you have a mixture the consistancy of cornmeal.

Place this mixture into a bowl and add the milk and egg and stir lightly until all are combine thourouhly.

On a clean work surface place a light dusting of flour and on top of this spoon 2-3 Tbs of the Cinnamon mixture, place the Scone mixture on top of this and top that with another 2-3 Tbs of cinnamon and a light dusting of flour. Gently knead this mixture about 10 times to combine (the secret to a great scone is to work the dough as little as possible; as the more you work it the tougher the dough becomes). Form into a ball and cut in ½. Form each half into a ball and flatten out to about ½”- 1″ thickness. Cut each round into 6 pieces and place on the greased baking sheet. Place into the oven and bake for 12 minutes until risen and cooked through and lightly browned on top.
