Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tbsps. baking powder
  • 2/3 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 cups whipping cream (heavy is fine too)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 5 tbsps. soft butter, divided
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • cream or milk

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine flour, white sugar, 1 tsp. of cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add the 2/3 cup of softened butter and cut into the flour mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Slowly add the whipping cream and stir until combined. Don't overmix.
  • Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, knead a few times on a floured surface, and then shape it into a large ball.
  • Divide the dough into 2.
  • Roll each half into a 10-inch circle.
  • On one circle, spread 2 tbsps. of soft butter over the surface.
  • Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and raisins (optional) evenly over the butter.
  • Set the other dough circle on top.
  • Seal the dough around the edges as shown in the photo.
  • Cut it into 12 triangles.
  • Place triangles on parchment paper, tucking in the corners slightly to help keep their shape.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned on top and sides.
  • While the scones are baking, combine the remaining 3 tbsps. of butter, powdered sugar, and enough milk or cream to make an icing. Thicker icing stays on the scones better.
  • While the scones are still warm, pour the icing on top.
  • Enjoy!
