Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.6667 cup Heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Cinnamon chips
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
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, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
Fold in the cinnamon chips evenly, being careful not to overmix the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, shape it into a 7-inch round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scones lightly with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the scones are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy!
