cinnamon scones
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 heaping tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp cold butter, unsalted, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup cinnamon chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Topping:
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Using a food processor, two forks, your hands or a pastry cutter, cut in the cold butter. Continue mixing until butter lumps remain, but you've got a coarse meal texture. Stir in your cinnamon chips. Add heavy cream and stir until dough begins to form, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, and knead until you've got a ball. Pat down the ball into a ¾-inch thick circle, and cut into triangles.
  4. Place the scones on your prepared baking sheet. Toss your sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Lightly brush the tops of each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until scones are lightly golden. Cool, and serve the day of for best taste, or store for up to two days.
