Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Cinnamon baking chips
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl, and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to gently mix everything together until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Fold in the cinnamon baking chips until evenly distributed.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the scones lightly with additional heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Amazing Cinnamon Chip Scones!
