Honey and cinnamon scones

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
When the kitchen is filled with the scent of baking dough and cinnamon, we know the holidays are coming. This recipe dresses the classic crumbly dough in winter attire. Cinnamon not only flavours but radiates warmth, while honey caramelises to add a deeper, richer sweetness than plain sugar. An ideal companion for hot punch or spicy tea.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sift the flour into a bowl, mix in the baking powder and salt.

Tip: Salt is needed in every sweet pastry to highlight the flavours (contrast).
2 ✓

Cube the cold butter and quickly rub into the flour until crumbly.

Tip: Don't melt the butter with your hands! If the kitchen is too warm, use a food processor for rubbing in.
3 ✓

In a smaller bowl, mix the honey (if crystallised, warm slightly), icing sugar, cinnamon, and eggs.

Tip: This way the spice and sweetness will be distributed more evenly in the dough.
4 ✓

Pour the honey mixture and sour cream onto the buttery crumbs. Knead together quickly.

Tip: Honey can make the dough sticky, don't panic. Don't add too much extra flour, or it will be hard.
5 ✓

Wrap in cling film and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Tip: This step is mandatory! During resting, the dough firms up and becomes manageable.
6 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a floured board, roll the dough to 1.5-2 cm thick and stamp out.

Tip: The cinnamon dough will be darker when baking, this is natural.
7 ✓

Place the scones on a baking tray lined with parchment. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: Since the dough is already brownish from cinnamon and honey, it's hard to see when it's done. Watch the smell and texture (edges should set).
8 ✓

Let cool, then dust with icing sugar.

Tip: Still soft when warm, becomes crumbly while cooling.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the scone spread?
The dough might be softer due to the honey, or if the oven wasn't hot enough, the butter melted before the dough could bake. Always put it in a hot oven!
Can I use wholemeal flour?
Partly yes (e.g., half and half), but wholemeal flour makes the scone denser and less crumbly.
