Looking for a really easy Cinnamon Scone recipe? These cinnamon scones are SO delicious and surprisingly simple to make! They're a longtime family favorite!

Ingredients  

For the Dough

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup butter very cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg separated
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • cup buttermilk or ⅓ cup milk mixed with ½ tsp lemon juice

For the Crumb Topping

  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

For the Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-3 tsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  • Separate the egg white and yolk. Set the egg white aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, mix egg yolk, honey, and buttermilk (or milk/lemon juice mixture).
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • On a floured work surface, form the dough into a ball.
  • Roll or pat the ball into a half-inch-thick disc, roughly 8 inches in diameter.
  • Cut dough into eight equally-sized pieces.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet (a pie spatula makes this very easy).
  • Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of the scones.
  • Mix turbinado and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped scones.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While scones bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until a thin glaze forms.
  • Drizzle glaze over scones after they come out of the oven.
