🥐Step-by-Step: Scones in 4 Cranks
1. Prep the Dry Base
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Add cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter (or fingers) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Whisk cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour into dry mix. Stir until just combined—don’t overwork!
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into an 8-inch disc. Cut into 8 wedges.

Brush wedges with cream. Mix cinnamon-sugar topping. Sprinkle generously.
Geedel bonus: Use coarse blade to shred butter or crushing blade for nuts—uniform texture, zero mess.
Bake at 400°F until golden. Brush with melted butter + extra cinnamon sugar while hot.
