Cinnamon Roll Scones
For the scones:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
6 Tbs. unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. pure vanilla paste
6 Tbs. unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. pure vanilla paste
For the filling and topping:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder salt and sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl and combine well with a whisk. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks. Continue to mix until the mixture is crumbly and resembles the consistency of sand.
In a small measuring cup, combine the milk and vanilla. Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour the mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently stir the dough with a fork just until combined and a cohesive dough forms.
Combine filling ingredients in a small bowl and crumble most of it into the dough. Gently knead the mixture into the dough, leaving some streaks. You want it to somewhat resemble the streaks of a cinnamon roll.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and form a large circle, about 8-9 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Sprinkle the remaining topping over the dough. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the baking sheet.
Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cook slightly on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack.
