Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 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, diced)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
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, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the scones, pressing it lightly into the surface.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
