    Looking for cinnamon scone recipe

    I have eaten many times at a restaurant called La Madeleine.  I have enjoyed having their cinnamon scones, which have a consistency close to a cookie.  I have not been able to find a recipe for scones that come close to their scones.  If anyone has eaten at one of these restaurants, which are located in larger cities of Texas and Louisiana as well as Atlanta and Washington DC, or if you just know of a recipe that will yield a scone similar to the above description, please share it with me.  Thanks

    Re: Looking for cinnamon scone recipe

    laura, I've never had the scones you're talking about, and mine are probably not like them - I don't consider them to be of consisteny close to a cookie...I can't quite wrap my brain around a scone similar to a cookie.  The recipe I've developed isn't a typical scone in my opinion though, so you might want to give them a try. 

    Here's the link: Sugary Cinnamon Scones 

    Sugary Cinnamon Scones

    Scones Dough:
    2c. all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
    1/2c. sugar
    1 Tbsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, chilled
    2/3c. fat-free half-and-half, plus 1 Tbsp reserved

    Cinnamon Filling:
    2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
    1 Tbsp sugar
    2 tsp cinnamon

    Sugar Glaze:
    3 Tbsp Confectioner's Sugar
    fat-free half-and-half, as needed

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl combine all ingredients for cinnamon filling. Mix until evenly blended. Set aside.

    2. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 c sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2/3c half-and-half until just moistened.

    3. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough, 5-10 times. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick round or square. Evenly sprinkle half of dough with cinnamon filling mixture. Fold plain side over so that cinnamon filling is sandwiched in the middle. Cut into 8 evenly sized wedges; place on a baking sheet, approximately 5 inches apart. Brush tops with the reminaing 1 Tbsp half-and-half; sprinkle with 1 Tbsp sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool on wire rack.

    4. Mix Confectioner's sugar with enough half-and-half to make a glaze thin enough to drizzle. When scones are cooled drizzle with glaze.
