These Cinnamon Scones are amazing. If you are a fan of cinnamon rolls or any other cinnamon and sugar dessert, then this recipe is definitely for you. The scones are super easy because they are a drop scone, much like a biscuit. They have a decadent glaze that your family will love.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In large bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well.

Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, combine milk, egg and vanilla; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir with fork or rubber spatula until dry ingredients are moistened.

In another small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with the toasted chopped pecans and cinnamon; mix well.

Sprinkle evenly over dough in bowl; gently stir batter to swirl in cinnamon mixture (Do not blend completely.)

Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake scones for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes.

Glaze

In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar and enough orange juice for desired glaze consistency; mix until smooth. Drizzle over top of warm scones. Serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Keep Butter Ice-Cold ❄️
Chill your unsalted butter in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting it into the flour; cold butter creates steam pockets that produce light, flaky scones instead of dense ones.
Don't Overmix the Dough 🚫
Mix the dry ingredients and butter together just until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then gently fold in wet ingredients—overmixing develops gluten and makes scones tough and dense.
Toast the Oats First 🔆
Lightly toast your old-fashioned oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the dough to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from absorbing excess moisture.
Glaze While Still Warm 🎨
Apply the confectioners sugar glaze to scones within 5 minutes of removing them from the oven while they're still warm, allowing it to set into a beautiful glossy coating.
Cream Cheese Glaze Enhancement 🧈
Mix a tablespoon of cream cheese into your confectioners sugar glaze along with vanilla for a richer, more luxurious coating that complements the cinnamon beautifully.
