Ingredients
- 2 cups rye flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup chilled butter
- ⅔ cup milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Scone topping
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar
Spice glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2-4 tablespoons milk This is a variable- you decide how thick you want the glaze. I used 2 tablespoons in mine.
Instructions
- Start by mixing together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl- the rye flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Set it aside.
- In another, smaller bowl, mix together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla.
- Cut the butter into ½-inch chunks- be sure it is chilled. Add it to the dry ingredients and cut it into pea-sized pieces with a pastry cutter or with your hands. The key is keeping is cold, so work quickly.
- Add in the wet ingredients and mix together quickly. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead it gently. The dough will be sticky, but don’t stress, rye flour absorbs a lot of moisture.
- Form into your scones- I did a round shape, but you can do a triangle, square, or whatever you want. Place the shaped scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and right into the fridge.
- These will need to chill for at least 15 minutes. While it is chilling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix together your egg wash of egg and milk or heavy cream. Brush the top of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with the raw sugar.
- Move to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. They will be lightly browned around the edges and fluffy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Mix together the spiced glaze and drizzle it over the top of the scones.
