directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º F.

Step 2

Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.

Step 3

Stir together 3/4 cup milk, honey and vanilla and add to dough. Mix just until dough comes together and add pecans.

Step 4

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough twice to a 1-inch thickness, each time folding in half (this is the secret to a flaky scone).

Step 5

Now roll dough to 3/4 -inch thickness and cut desired shapes. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with remaining milk. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until tops are nicely browned.

Step 6

Whip cream to soft peaks and whisk in sour cream, sugar and cinnamon.

Step 7

Serve warm or at room temperature with cinnamon cream.
