Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

SCONES
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg, separated
3 Tbsp honey
1/3 cup buttermilk
TOPPING
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp finely crushed hazelnuts
GLAZE
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tsp milk (amount is approximate - as needed for proper consistency)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. With a fork, cut in the butter until dough is coarse and crumbly.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, honey and buttermilk. Gradually add the flour mixture, and stir just until mixture is well combined.
  • 4. Shape dough into a ball, and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and about 8 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal sizes wedges. Transfer dough to baking sheet, placing dough pieces side by side (so it forms a circle).
  • 5. Whisk together the egg white until frothy, and brush the egg whites over the tops of the scones. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and hazelnuts, and sprinkle the nut mixture evenly on top of the scones.
  • 6. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until scones are lightly browned.
  • 7. While the scones are baking, stir together the powdered sugar, 1 tsp milk, and extract. Add more milk as needed, 1/2 tsp at a time, and stir until smooth but still thin enough to drizzle. Then drizzle the glaze in a random pattern over the top of the scones after removing the baking sheet from the oven.

Time 2h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup pitted fresh cherries, cut into thirds
4 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup white sugar
8 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 eggs
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place butter-flavored shortening and regular shortening into a freezer until very cold, at least 2 hours before use. Place cherries into the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes before use.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter-flavored shortening and regular shortening until flour mixture is combined.
  • Whisk heavy cream and eggs together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until combined. Fold cold cherries into dough.
  • Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Cut in 1/2 lengthwise; cut out triangles from each 1/2. Place on the prepared baking sheet and place into the freezer to get cold, about 10 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden on edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove scones from the oven and let cool about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar, milk, and cinnamon in a bowl. Lightly drizzle glaze over cooled scones.
