Ingredients
scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, 1 stick
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
crunchy topping
- 2 Tbsp sugar in the raw, or coarse sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt until well combined.
- Use a pastry cutter to cut in butter until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-sized. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, egg and cream until evenly combined and sugar is dissolved.
- Add wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Form dough into a ball and roll or pat to ½” thickness. The dough will be about 9″–10″ in diameter.
- Cut the dough like a pizza into eight equal pieces and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of scones with additional heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar and cinnamon.
- Bake 10–12 minutes then remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on a rack. Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk and vanilla until glaze forms. Drizzle over scones after they have cooled slightly then serve while still warm.
