Cinnamon roll scones
A delightful spin (excuse the pun) on cinnamon rolls and scones. These tasty treats are rolled up with a buttery brown sugar-cinnamon filling and finished off with a delicious cream cheese glaze.

Cinnamon roll scones

Makes: 8-10 scones

Ingredients

2 x 150g sachets (300g) NOMU MiniMakes All Purpose Dough & Batter Mix
3 tbsp sugar
80g cold unsalted butter, cubed
100ml milk
1 large egg

FILLING:
50g butter, melted
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp NOMU Ground Cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE:
25g plain cream cheese
1/3 cup icing sugar
2 tsp milk, or as needed

Directions

For the cinnamon filling, melt the butter and mix in the sugar and cinnamon. Place in the fridge or freezer while you prepare the scone dough to firm up to a spreadable consistency.

For the scones, combine the dry mix and sugar in a mixing bowl and rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can pulse everything together in a food processor.

Whisk together the milk and egg, and gently incorporate into the flour mixture to form a shaggy dough. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead to incorporate any remaining bits of dry flour.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll the scone dough into a 1cm thick rectangle, about 20 x 30cm, with the long edge facing you. Spread the cinnamon filling over the surface of the dough, leaving a 2cm gap along the top edge. Carefully roll up the scone into a tight coil from the long edge closest to you, brushing the top edge with a little milk to help it stick closed. Gently pinch the seam to seal everything up.

Place the cinnamon roll log in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up – this makes it easier to slice. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C and line an oven tray with baking paper.

Cut the scone roll into 8-10 slices and place cut side up on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and lightly golden. Allow to cool.

For the glaze, mix the cream cheese with a spatula until smooth and softened. Sift in the icing sugar and mix in enough milk to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle generously over your scones and enjoy!
