Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Add the granulated sugar and mix well.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the dough will be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into an 8-inch (about 20 cm) round disc. Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optional: Brush the tops with a little heavy cream to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your low sodium cinnamon scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
