Ingredients
Scale
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 tablespoons Baking Powder
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (cold and cubed)
3/4 cup Milk
1 large Egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
- Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients, add the milk and beaten egg, and stir gently until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently; pat it into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.
- Transfer the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush the tops with milk, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
