Oatmeal Cinnamon Scones

I've set my tea for today in front of the fireplace, using my Johnson Brothers Friendly Village pattern.   My Williamsburg teapot belonged to my Aunt Kitty and she gifted it to me after my beloved and I went to Williamsburg for our honeymoon.




My recipe for today's scones is adapted from my favorite Oatmeal Raisin Scones, which can be found here.
I love this recipe because it is done so quickly in the food processor and the scones are so light in texture, but with a delightful crunchy top. 
I switched up the raisins for cinnamon chips and adapted the procedure somewhat.  If you love cinnamon, I think you'll love these.   I'm thinking that chocolate chips or butterscotch chips would be great, too.  Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup granulated or light brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter (I sometimes only have salted butter, therefore I leave out the salt)
1 cup cinnamon chips
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon sparkling sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

NOTE:  This recipe is correct.  There aren't any eggs in this particular scone recipe. 

Set rack in the middle of the oven & preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.  Pulse 5 times at 1-second intervals.

Cut the butter into 12 pieces, add to the bowl & pulse 12 times until the mixture looks like fine meal.

Add the cinnamon chips & milk & pulse 3-4 times to form a very soft dough.

Drop the dough, by large spoonfuls,  onto cookie sheets that have been lined with foil, parchment or a silpat.  You should get 12 large scones.  Brush the tops with a little milk & sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.  Freeze the scones for 30 minutes, which is a trick I learned from King Arthur Flour, which helps for a higher rise.   Bake the scones for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden.  Do not over bake as they will be dry.

I always freeze any extra scones, then thaw and reheat in a  350 degree oven for several minutes. 

Enjoy!

  6. Oh my goodness, Kitty, what's not to love here!! The scones sound really delicious, I have to try them. Thank you for the recipe! I so love Friendly Village dishes, as a matter of fact our youngest is urging me to buy them, but I just can't justify it after getting 12 place settings of Butterfly Meadow just two years ago. I have other sets, also...lol. Colonial Williamsburg is one of our favorite places to visit. My daughter and I were living history presenters several years ago and actually wore our 18th century clothing on one of our trips there. That was so much fun. Have a wonderful day!

  19. Oatmeal cinnamon scones sound wonderful to have with tea. I've not seen cinnamon chips in our stores but could always incorporate some ground cinnamon I'm sure.

  20. What a pretty setting, Kitty! I've never been to Williamsburg, although we drive by it on the way to FL. It is on my bucket list & so are these scones!! I'm thinking of using some of those Heath Bar chips that I have in the pantry to make these tomorrow. They have to be good with all those other flavors in there, especially with the sparkling sugar & cinnamon on top. Yummo!
    You always have the best recipes to share...thank you for another winner!

    1. Hi Michelle, I hope you get this message as I couldn't respond to your email because you're a no-reply comment blogger and I couldn't find how to contact you. The recipe is correct. There are no eggs in this recipe. It's from Nick Malgieri's How to Bake cookbook.

  27. Your scones look delicious, and your china looks lovely too. Love your vintage teapot - it's wonderful to have things like this that are passed down through your family. I have a china tea set which my grandfather gave to my grandmother for their "china" wedding anniversary, which is very special to me.
