Cinnamon Sugar Breakfast Scones

Cinnamon Sugar Breakfast Scones

These scones were so delicious! They were moist, fluffy and the glaze made them to die for! I never need a good reason to have a warm cup of tea, being the Dutch girl that I am, but these scones go perfectly! 

What you need:  

For the Scones

2 cups of flour 

2 teaspoons baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda 

1/2 teaspoon of salt 

1/2 cup of butter

1 egg, separated 

3 tablespoons of honey

1/3 cup of whole milk

1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice

For the Cinnamon topping

1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon 

For the Glaze

1 cup of powdered sugar 

3 tablespoons of whole milk 

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla 

What you need to do:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 

2. In a kitchen aid mixture, or a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. (The butter should be dime sized pieces.)

3. Separate the egg white and yolk. Set the egg white aside. (you will use this later!) 

4. In a separate bowl, mix egg yolk, honey, milk and lemon. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. Form dough into a ball on a floured surface. Roll or pat out to half an inch in thickness and eight inches in diameter. Cut into eight equally-sized pieces.

6. Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of scones. 

7. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped scones. Use as much as you like! 

8. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. I suggest to not cook over 12 minutes, this will keep the scones moist. 

9. Mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until glaze forms. 

10. Drizzle over scones after they bake. Serve warm or save for later! 

Store at room temperature so the glazed scones do not dry out.
