Instructions
Sourdough Scones:
Line an 8 inch cake pan with plastic wrap.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles course sand (you can use your fingers or a fork).
Pour the starter, cream and vanilla into the bowl and carefully mix with until just barely incorporated.
Press the dough into the cake pan and cover with plastic wrap.
Place in the freezer overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
In the morning (or when ready to bake), place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and turn the dough out onto it.
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Let your dough stand for 15 minutes and then using a sturdy knife, cut your dough into 8 even wedges.
Let the dough stand for another 15 minutes, and then brush the tops with a bit of cream on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the scones are set and lightly browned.
Allow to cool while you mix the glaze.
Brown Sugar Glaze:
In a microwave safe cup, heat the milk and butter for 30 seconds.
Stir, stir, stir, until the butter is completely melted.
Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla and stir until the sugar melts.
Whisk in the powdered sugar, starting with 1/4 cup and gradually increasing the amount until you get the desired consistency.
Drizzle over the scones, and Enjoy!!!
Notes
Store these scones in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
