Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 30 minutes
Servings: 8 Scones

Ingredients

  • 300 g AP Flour 2½ cups
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 50 g Sugar ¼ cup
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 large Egg beaten
  • ¾ cup Heavy Cream cold
  • 120 g Cookie Butter ½ cup

Streusel Topping

  • 30 g AP Flour ¼ cup
  • 50 g Dark brown sugar ¼ cup - packed
  • 8 Biscoff cookies crushed
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • pinch Salt

Instructions

  • Place stick of butter in the freezer for about 20 minutes
  • Combine the dry scone ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and mix in a large bowl.
  • Remove butter from freezer, and using a coarse grater grate half the stick of butter into the flour mixture. Using a fork, mix and fluff butter into flour. Grate the rest of the stick of butter into the flour and repeat fluffing/mixing.
  • Create a well in the center of flour mixture and pour your beaten egg and heavy cream into it.
  • Using a fork, push sections of flour into the liquids, creating a very rough mixture.
  • When the liquids are mostly incorporated but before dough has come together, add cookie butter into dough in spoonfuls around the bowl.
  • Begin to bring the dough together more, distributing the cookie butter while you do. Cookie butter will not be evenly distributed but sort of marbled throughout the dough.
  • Empty bowl onto counter and bring the dough together, folding it over on itself 2-3 times, then shaping it into a circle or square that is about 1½" tall.
  • Using a bench scraper or knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. When cutting do not use a sawing motion but rather cut down from the top all the way through in one motion.
  • Place scones on parchment lined baking sheet and place in the freezer.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • In a small/medium bowl mix together your crushed biscoff cookies, flour, brown sugar and pinch of salt.
  • Melt your 3 tbsp of butter and pour over the streusel dry ingredients.
  • Use a fork to mix the mixture together until no dry pieces remain.
  • Remove scones from freezer, and place a spoonful of streusel on top of each. I found it easier to use my fingers than a spoon.
  • Place scones back in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Put scones in oven on middle rack, and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Bake scones for about 25 minutes. When scones are ready, remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
