Delicious Cinnamon Chip Scones Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup cinnamon chips
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon additional cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

9 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent clumps.
  3. Add Butter

    Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Work quickly to keep the butter cold.
  4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Add this to the dry mixture.

    Do not overmix; stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in Cinnamon Chips

    Gently fold in the cinnamon chips until evenly distributed.

    Use a spatula to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Shape the Dough

    Turn dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1-inch thick.

    Cut into wedges for traditional scone shapes.
  7. Prepare for Baking

    Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with milk, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

    Leave space between scones for even baking.
  8. Bake

    Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  9. Cool and Serve

    Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

    These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
