About Cinnamon scone

A cinnamon scone is a baked pastry originating from British cuisine and commonly enjoyed as part of afternoon tea or breakfast. Typically made from flour, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and flavored with ground cinnamon, it is rich in carbohydrates and contains moderate amounts of fat and protein. Cinnamon itself adds dietary fiber and antioxidants, enhancing its nutritional profile. While scones are generally energy-dense due to their sugar and butter content, they offer valuable macronutrients and pair well with a variety of toppings like jams or cream. This sweet and aromatic pastry is a satisfying option in moderation, providing quick energy from its high carbohydrate content.

Health Benefits

• Cinnamon is a source of antioxidants like polyphenols, which help reduce inflammation and support heart health.
