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
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, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Add the granulated sugar and mix well.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your low sodium cinnamon scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
