I made these delicious scones twice already because they go FAST. They are so fluffy and perfect with coffee. If you don't want them as sweet, skip the glaze and the cinnamon sugar on top before baking. They truly are amazing without the glaze as well.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup salted butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk or cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Maple Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 tbsp. cream or milk
Mix eggs, cream/milk, vanilla, and brown sugar. In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until you have a crumb mixture. Male a well in the center and add the egg mixture. Mix until just combined. On a floured surface, knead mixture and create a circle. Cut into 8 or 16 triangles (depending on how big you want them - I usually do 16). Separate on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or Silpat. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top then bake at 375 degrees for abut 12 minutes.
Let cool then spread glaze over the top. Store in refrigerator. These are also delicious without the glaze, but they are divine with it!
Enjoy!
