I've tried so many scones, but I've never tried cinnamon scones before. Since I like cinnamon a lot, I've decided to make them.
These cinnamon scones turned out so buttery and flaky, with the perfect sweetness. I really enjoyed them!
Easy Cinnamon Scones
My Cinnamon Scones turned out AMAZING! The butter and whole milk create a flaky and moist texture that I liked soo much.
Also, the recipe was so quick and easy to make.
I also liked flavor! Warm, sweet, with an even milder spice, everything about these scones is perfect.
You'll Need
Flour. I used all-purpose flour.
Caster Sugar.
Ground Cinnamon. It is the base flavor for this recipe. Ground cinnamon gives that warm and sweet flavor that makes these scones so irresistible.
Baking Powder.
Butter. I used cold butter, cut into cubes. It gives this recipe a delicate buttery texture. The butter is also responsible for making these scones have that flaky and crisp edges.
Milk. I use whole milk.
Vanilla Extract.
How To Make Cinnamon Scones - Step By Step
One: Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Two: In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and sugar.
Three: Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until it forms fine crumbs.
Four: Now, mix in milk and vanilla until combined (Don’t overwork the dough).
Five: Shape the dough out to about 2 ½cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out as many scones as possible.
Six: Put them on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the milk, then sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.
Seven: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Top Tips!
- Put the lightest effort into mixing the dough. The less you mix the dough, the more your scones will be crumbly and flaky.
- When it comes to adding flour and baking powder, I like to sieve them both into your bowl. The sieving will ensure that the two ingredients are mixed well with one another.
- Don't even think of using softened butter. The cold butter will give your scones a flaky texture.
- Leave at least an inch between the scones when placing them on the baking sheet to give room for when the scones rise and expand.
Recipe FAQs
The only explanation behind your scones not rising is that you have placed the batter inside the oven when the oven is not yet thoroughly preheated. To avoid scones not rising, be sure that the oven has been preheated to 200C or 400F.
Yes. Keep the batter refrigerated overnight and bake it the next day.
The secret to a flaky scone is using cold butter! And also not to overwork the butter.
