Cinnamon Praline Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
• In a small bowl, combine the egg and cream and add to the flour mixture. Mix until just blended together.
• Turn out the batter onto a lightly floured board and knead for 1 minute. Roll dough into a rectangle approximately 8 x 12 inches.
• Brush the dough with the melted butter.
• Combine filling ingredients (pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sour cream). Spread filling evenly on the dough. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, and seal the long seam by pinching it together lightly with your fingers. Roll may be refrigerated overnight.
• Cut the roll into twelve 1-inch thick slices.
• Lay slices on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until scones are golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix the first five ingredients until blended. Add pecans and walnuts; toss to coat., Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toasted, stirring twice. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cubed butter, then pinch and press the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
• Make a well in the center of the sandy mixture and add the heavy cream and vanilla. Toss and fold until it comes together to form a loose dough.
• Dust your work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough two or three times to bring it together. Use your hands to press the dough into a 5-by-14-inch rectangle with a long side facing you. Imagine the dough divided vertically into three equal sections, like a standard sheet of paper folded to fit into an envelope. Carefully lift the section on the right and fold it over the center section. Lift the section on the left and fold it over the other two layers. When you look at your dough from the front, you should see three distinct layers. Turn the little dough package so that one of the folded edges is facing you.
• Use your hands to press the layered dough back down into a long rectangle similar in size to the first one you made, flouring your work surface and dough as needed.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the filling on top of the dough and spread it out using a spoon or silicone spatula to fully cover the top surface of the dough.
• Cut the dough lengthwise into four equal strips. Pick up a strip and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, filling-side up. Roll it up tightly, then stand it up on one of its flat sides in the center of the sheet. Pick up another strip, and wrap that strip, filling-side in, around the standing coil starting where the first coil left off. Repeat with the two remaining strips. Gently push the circle of coiled dough down to adhere the strips together and flatten the dough to about 9 inches in diameter. Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the chilled roll into 8 wedges, leaving the cut pieces together in a circle instead of pulling them apart.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the scones have puffed and browned around the edges, 20 to 24 minutes.
• Transfer the sheet to a rack to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before carefully moving the warm scones onto a cutting board or serving platter. (If you don't let them cool first, they will fall apart when you try to move them.) Using a knife, gently slice to separate the 8 individual scones, but don't pull them apart.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and vanilla with enough milk until the glaze is spreadable. Drizzle it over the scones and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Fold in chips. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10-12 times or until dough is no longer sticky. Divide in half; gently pat or roll each portion into a 7-in. circle. Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar. , Cut each circle into six wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 10-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Cut in butter pieces with a pastry knife or 2 knives until there are no large pieces and the mixture begins to look like coarse meal.
• Combine buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl; stir until well blended. Add buttermilk mixture to dry mixture and stir to combine, about 30 seconds. Add chopped banana and stir until mixture is just beginning to come together. Turn out everything onto a floured work surface.
• Using a very light touch and floured fingers, gently push the dough together and mold it into a ball. With a bench scraper or large spatula, move dough ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Gently press dough into a large circle, about 12 inches across and 3/4 inch thick. Using the bench scraper or a sharp knife, cut the dough circle into 10 equal slices. Press downward with the bench scraper or knife, lifting and pressing down, as you work your way across the circle. Do not drag to cut, or the edges will seal and spoil the rise. Brush top of the dough with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until scones are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the scones are baking, melt butter for glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir to combine. Stir in buttermilk and salt and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then stir in chopped pecans. Boil, stirring frequently for 1 more minute. Remove from the stove and allow to cool slightly.
• Drizzle glaze over warm scones and serve immediately.
