Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (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, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the egg until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until a rough dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a 1-inch thick circle, about 7 inches in diameter.
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth and drizzleable.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm scones. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your homemade Maple Cinnamon Scones with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
