Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar filling.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 inches by 6 inches.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rectangle of dough.
Carefully fold the dough into thirds, like folding a letter. Press gently to seal the layers, then shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the scones cool, make the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones. Serve warm and enjoy!
