Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter.

Notes
For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar. These scones can be frozen for easy breakfasts later.
