Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until the dough comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough circle.
- Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one end, to form a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes, then drizzle 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over the top of the warm scones.
- Serve and enjoy!
