Ingredients

2 ⅔ cups All purpose flour
2 tablespoon caster sugar
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter , cut into cubes
¾ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar , 1 tablespoon sugar and ½ tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and sugar.
Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until it forms fine crumbs.
Now, mix in milk and vanilla until combined (Don’t overwork the dough).
Shape the dough out to about 2 ½cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out as many scones as possible.
Put them on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the milk, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

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.
