Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Optional: Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick and 7 inches wide. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the disc into 8 evenly sized wedges.

Step 7

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
