Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cold unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whole milk
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon Cinnamon sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into small pieces, then add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it several times until it comes together. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
6. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the surface of the dough. Gently press the sugar into the dough with your hands or a rolling pin.
7. Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 6 equal pieces.
8. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly before serving.
