Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, beat the cold eggs, then add the cold half-and-half cream, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. On a floured surface, knead the dough gently, then shape it into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8-10 triangles.
  6. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake for 14-16 minutes until golden.
  7. Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and maple syrup for the glaze while scones bake.
  8. Cool scones for 5-10 minutes before drizzling with the glaze.
