Ingredients

Scone Dough:

  • 500 g low-protein flour all-purpose flour will work
  • 60 g granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 12 g baking powder
  • 3 g salt
  • 162 g cold unsalted butter cubed; reduce salt if using salted butter
  • 260 g cold milk
  • 75 g Biscoff cookies crushed; add more for extra flavor

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 500 g cream cheese softened
  • 65 g granulated sugar
  • Optional: Extra Biscoff cookies for topping

Instructions

Prepare the Cheese Filling

  • Place softened cream cheese in a bowl and add 65g of white sugar.
  • Use a whisk or spatula to mix until smooth and lump-free, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  • Once mixed, place the cheese filling in the freezer for 30-40 minutes to firm up, making it easier to wrap later.

Make the Scone Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine 500g flour, 60g sugar, 12g baking powder, and 3g salt.
  • Cut 162g butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Rub the butter into the flour using your hands until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, taking about 3-5 minutes.
  • Slowly add 260g of milk and mix with your hands until a dough forms and no dry flour remains.
  • Crush the Biscoff biscuits in a bowl or ziplock bag using a rolling pin or by hand until they are in small pieces.
  • Add the crushed biscuits to the dough and gently mix to distribute them evenly. Divide the dough into about 50g portions, adjusting the size as preferred.

Shaping and Filling

  • Take the chilled cheese filling from the freezer and roll it into 30g balls.
  • Grab a portion of dough and press your finger into the center to create a small indent.
  • Place one cheese ball in the center of the indent.
  • Carefully fold the dough around the cheese filling, but don't completely cover the filling; let the filling peek through. Repeat this step with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Optional: Place half a Biscoff biscuit on top of each scone before baking for an added touch of caramel flavor.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes before baking.
  • Arrange the scones on a baking tray, ensuring there's space between each one to prevent sticking during baking.
  • Bake in the lower part of the oven for 20-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, cover the scones with aluminum foil to prevent them from browning too much.
  • Once baked, remove the tray and let the scones cool on a wire rack.
