How to Freeze Scones

BAKED SCONES: Let the scones cool before freezing. Place in a re-sealable bag or airtight container to protect from freezer burn. Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking. Use within 3 months.

RAW SCONES: Place in a re-sealable bag or airtight container to protect from freezer burn. The scones do not need to be defrosted. Uncooked scones can go from freezer to oven.

With THREE layers of cinnamon you would think you were eating a gooey cinnamon roll!

Ingredients

For the Scones:

¾ cup half and half
1 cup cinnamon chips
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter, cut into pats
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

3½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 tablespoons water

Instructions

For the Scones:

Combine the cinnamon chips with the half and half in a small bowl.
Let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes. (this creates a nice cinnamon flavored milk)
While the cinnamon mixture is resting, get started putting together the rest of the ingredients.
In a food processor mix together the flour, sugar , baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter and just mix until crumbly. (it's okay to have some larger chunks of butter) NOTE: you can also do this by hand in a large bowl.
Put the crumb mixture into a bowl (if a food processor was used).
Add the egg and vanilla to the cinnamon-milk mixture, stirring to combine.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.

For the Filling:

Mix all the ingredients together until creamy and spreadable.

For the Glaze:

Stir together the sugar, cinnamon and water.

To Assemble:

On a well floured surface pat dough into a 9-inch square.
Spread the filling over the dough.
Fold one edge into the center and over the filling.
Fold the remaining edge over the center.
Gently pat into a 3-inch x 18-inch rectangle.
Cut the rectangle into SIX 3-inch squares.
Transfer the squares to a lightly greased baking sheet.
Cut the square in half.
Separate 1-inch apart.
Bake at 400° for 15 to 17 minutes. As soon as the scones come out of the oven remove them from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack.
Cool completely.
Coat each scone with glaze.
You can dip each one, pour, brush or drizzle.

Hi…I live in Canada and can’t find Cinnamon chips anywhere. Is there anything I can use in replacement? Thanks!

  CanadianBaker: I live in the U.S. and I can’t find cinnamon chips anywhere either any more. BUT, you can order cinnamon sweet bits from kingarthurflour.com. They aren’t too badly priced and a lot cheaper than buying cinnamon chips from Amazon. And they are amazing. Hope you get to make these, because they are to die for.

Hi Becky, You’re right these scones are delicious. I got this recipe from my Mom’s recipe box….she had hand written it so I didn’t know where it came from. The recipes do seem to be almost exact.

The filling oozed out while baking. Did you chill before baking to lmit that?

  Hi Karen, No I didn’t chill them. I did make them in the winter so my dough was cool.

Condace on September 11, 2017 at 5:32 am said:

Can I use chocolate chips instead of the cinnamon chips and omit the soaking?

Reply ↓
- Sheryl on September 11, 2017 at 9:47 pm said:
  
  Oh….that sounds good Condace. Like Mexican chocolate with the cinnamon. The reason I soak the chips is the give the scones extra cinnamon flavor. You don’t have to soak your chips but it will add a little bit more of a chocolate flavor if you do. 🙂

Hi Sheryl, I made these delicious Triple Cinnamon Scones today. They’re so good! The only thing I did differently was to brush a bit more than 1 tablespoon of the softened butter on the dough before adding the filling. I’m looking forward to trying some of your other scone recipes now. Thanks for posting!! I posted a picture of my scones on my blog: spooncitykitchen.blogspot.com It’s just a private blog I share with family and friends only, but feel free to take a look. I did reference you as the author of the recipe and put your URL for people who may want to give these scones a try. I did not post the recipe. Thanks again!!
