Snickerdoodle Scones



My husband and I have known each other over 25 years. I thought I knew just about everything there was to know about him!! Well about a year or so ago, he told me that he wasn't a fan of scones. It's not my particular scones, but just a scone in general. All this time, I thought he liked them!! I'm glad that we have such an honest relationship that he can tell me things like that. You know what that means then, right? More for the kids and I!!! LOL.





Ingredients

3 cups white flour
2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter,
  (slightly softened)
1 cup milk

Topping

1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. In large bowl put the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Combine gently with a large spoon. "Cut" in the butter with two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs. Make a "well" in the middle and pour the milk in. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together and then remove to a lightly floured surface and flatten out to a circle that is 11 inches in diameter, either with the palms of your hands or with a rolling pin. Cut into eight equal triangles. In a small bowl, put the topping ingredients. Mix with a small spoon and then sprinkle evenly between the eight scones. Place on the cookie sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the bottoms of the scones are turning lightly brown. Remove to wire rack to cool. Store in a covered container for up to three days.
