Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream plus extra for brushing

Method
 

Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
Cut in Butter
  1. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the beaten egg and heavy cream together.
Form the Dough
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the Scones
  1. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter.
Bake the Scones
  1. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with additional heavy cream. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
