Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Shape it into a 7-inch circle that is about 1-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Sprinkle the tops of the scones with granulated sugar for added sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or enjoy them as they are!
