Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream and vanilla until well combined. Set the mixture in the fridge.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cube up the cold butter stick and add it to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are quite small.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet ingredients mixture. Lightly mix the ingredients together in the bowl until you have a shaggy dough.

Step 5

Use your hands to lightly knead the scone dough together just until it becomes a cohesive ball.

Step 6

Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 10" x 14" (25 x 35 cm) rectangle.

Step 8

In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Then, mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 9

Carefully spread the brown sugar cinnamon mixture over the scone dough into an even layer.

Step 10

From the longer side of the rectangle, carefully roll up the scones into a tight cylinder (the same way you would roll cinnamon rolls.)

Step 11

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit in the freezer for at least 1 hour.

Step 12

When you're ready to bake the scones. preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 13

Slice a small sliver of dough off of both ends of the log to reveal the cinnamon swirl. Slice the log into 4 equally sized pieces, then slice each piece on a diagonal to create a triangle shaped piece.

Step 14

Evenly space the scones out on the baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.

Step 15

If desired, you can brush a little bit of heavy cream on top of the scones to encourage the tops to brown. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones start to turn golden brown on top and on the bottoms. Note that some of the scones may flatten and some may bake up straight – this is normal and both ways are delicious!

Step 16

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tsp. of milk to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together, adding in more milk as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 17

Once the scones have cooled to room temperature, drizzle the glaze over them. Serve and enjoy!
