Ingredients
Streusel Topping
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
Scones
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted butter, cold and diced
- ½ cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the streusel topping. In a medium bowl, combine the all purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and softened butter. Using a fork blend it all together until it reaches large crumbs that stick together when you squeeze them in your palm. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the all purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Give it a good stir.
- Add the diced cold butter and cut it into the dough with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles course crumbs.
- Add the cold milk and vanilla extract and using a rubber spatula or your hands, fold together until everything is combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- Turn the dough out onto prepared baking sheet. Fold the dough and shape into a 8 to 9 inch circle.
- Top the dough with the streusel topping and lightly press it down so it adheres to the dough.
- Using a dough cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into 8 triangles and arrange 2 inches apart on pan. If some of the streusel falls off, just squeeze it together and place it back on top of the scones.
- Bake the scones in preheated oven on center rack for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on edges and sides look set and not glossy.
- Let cool and enjoy!
