Cinnamon Smear Scones

Here is a picture of my latest scone endeavor....after spending the winter baking season experimenting with pumpkin scones, cranberry-orange scones and other variations, my dear sons said, "what about my favorite -- cinnamon scones??"

So being a sympathetic mom I found a great looking recipe and made a great looking and tasting cinnamon scone. I got the recipe from the King Arthur Flour website, and these are actually called Cinnamon Smear Scones. The "smear" part is homemade from brown sugar, butter, butterscotch chips and cinnamon. King Arthur also has a recipe for Cinnamon Schmear Scones, using cinnamon chips and their KA label cinnamon filling mix. I've got that on order so hopefully next week I can try that recipe version and get some feedback on that.

By the way, the lovely plate the scone sits on is a piece of my Czech china. This is the most common pattern in the Czech Republic used for many years, and now I have started my own set. Makes a perfect compliment for the scone, doesn't it!
