Delicious Cinnamon Scones Recipe for Breakfast or Snack

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

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

   Sifting the flour can help achieve a lighter texture.
3. 3

   Cut in Butter

   Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Keep the butter cold for flakier scones.
4. 4

   Combine Wet Ingredients

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

   Make sure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing.
5. 5

   Form the Dough

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

   The dough should be slightly sticky.
6. 6

   Shape the Scones

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges.

   Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
7. 7

   Bake the Scones

   Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

   Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Let the scones cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

   Serve warm with butter or jam.
