Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup frozen unsalted butter grated
  • ½ cup heavy cream plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cinnamon chips or your favorite flavored baking chips

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold grated butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the cinnamon chips.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about ¾ inch thick.(or thicker for taller scones)
  • Cut the dough into wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added sweetness.
  • Freeze the scone dough according to the instructions above, or bake scones immediately at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
