Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter shredded frozen
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter frozen and shredded
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs divided and beaten
- 3 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 420°F or 215°C, and line one baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
- Combine the frozen grated butter with the flour mixture and using a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until a coarse texture is formed, it will resemble small pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.
- Add the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and sugar into a bowl and mix together using a whisk, then add to the flour mixture along with the cinnamon chips and stir just until the scone dough comes together and the dry mixture is moistened.
- Turn over the dough onto a floured working surface and knead 2-3 times to bring the dough into a ball shape. Work extra flour into the dough if it seems too sticky.
- Once the scone dough is rounded, pat it down to about 1 inch in thickness, about 8 inches in diameter, then using a scraper or knife cut the dough into 8 wedges.
- Transfer the triangle scones onto a lined baking pan and separate them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake the cinnamon scones for 20-22 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the top.
- Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Serve warm and Enjoy!
