Cinnamon Praline Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425 degrees and prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2
   In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons sugar.
3. 3
   Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
4. 4
   In a small bowl, combine the egg and cream and add to the flour mixture. Mix until just blended together.
5. 5
   Turn out the batter onto a lightly floured board and knead for 1 minute. Roll dough into a rectangle approximately 8 x 12 inches.
6. 6
   Brush the dough with the melted butter.
7. 7
   Combine filling ingredients (pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sour cream). Spread filling evenly on the dough. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, and seal the long seam by pinching it together lightly with your fingers. Roll may be refrigerated overnight.
8. 8
   Cut the roll into twelve 1-inch thick slices.
9. 9
   Lay slices on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until scones are golden.
