Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar filling.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 inches by 6 inches.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rectangle of dough.

Step 8

Carefully fold the dough into thirds, like folding a letter. Press gently to seal the layers, then shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 11

While the scones cool, make the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones. Serve warm and enjoy!
