Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, large egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc about 1 inch thick and 7–8 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the top of each scone.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 14–16 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
