Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten (for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a separate small bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8-10 stick-shaped pieces, roughly 1 inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
Place the scone sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the scone sticks with the beaten egg for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scone sticks are lightly golden on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
