Cinnamon Crumble Scones
This is an extremely light and fluffly scone.
Yields: 24 scones
Preparation time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups cake flour
- 2-1/2 cups bread flour
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-1/2 cups whipping cream
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 egg, beaten
Heat oven to 350 degrees. For scones, place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Sift together the flours and baking powder; mix into butter-sugar mixture. Add cream; mix just until dough forms; do not overmix.
Roll dough into an 8- by 8-inch square. Cut dough into 12 equal squares; cut to form 24 triangles. Place scones on greased or parchment-lined baking sheets; set aside. For glaze, beat together the cream and eggs; brush over tops of scones with pastry brush.
For cinnamon crumbles, mix the butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl with a fork; sprinkle over tops of scones. Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes.
