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.
