Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate smaller bowl, beat together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork or spatula until a shaggy dough forms, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top of the scones.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and baked through. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a scone; it should come out clean.

Step 10

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