Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (cooled)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, coffee granules, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 7–8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
While the scones cool, make the coffee glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and brewed coffee until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more coffee or powdered sugar as needed.
Drizzle the cooled scones with the coffee glaze and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
