Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 2 units large eggs
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for glaze)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for glaze)
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, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to over-mix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round disk, about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, prepare the glaze by whisking together maple syrup, powdered sugar, and milk. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones before serving.
