Made with flour, butter, cinnamon, and sugar—these scones use simple ingredients and offer cozy, coffee cake flavor in every bite.
Cut cold butter into the flour mixture. Add cream and vanilla. Mix just until dough forms—don’t overwork it for soft, flaky scones.
Pat dough into a circle and slice into wedges. Top with cinnamon crumble made of flour, brown sugar, and melted butter.
Bake at 400°F for 18–22 minutes until golden. Let cool slightly before adding a simple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm or at room temp. Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days, or freeze and reheat for a quick breakfast option.
