Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoons melted butter
Cinnamon Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cream to the dry ingredients and stir just until dough forms. Knead gently in the bowl just until dough holds together.
- Form the dough into a 10 inch diameter circle, 1 inch thick, on a lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and spread scones 2 inches apart from one another.
- Brush the scones with 3 tablespoons melted butter and top with mix of 1 Tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Bake the scones until very light golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes. It is very important not to over bake or they will dry out!
- Whisk the glaze ingredients together and drizzle over slightly warm or room temperature scones. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container up to 3 days.
