Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Coarse 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, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick and 7 inches wide. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the disc into 8 evenly sized wedges.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
