Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup cinnamon chips (or chopped pecans, optional)

For the Maple Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon milk (or more, as needed for consistency)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk to blend them evenly.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with small butter pieces evenly distributed throughout.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.

          Form the Scone Dough: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. If you’re opting for a richer flavor, fold in the cinnamon chips or chopped pecans at this stage for extra texture and taste.

            Transfer to Cake Pan: Scoop the dough into the prepared cake pan, using your hands or a spatula to gently press it down into an even layer. Smooth the top with a spatula for a uniform appearance.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye out for a lightly golden top, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

                Prepare the Maple Glaze: As the scone bake cools slightly, make the glaze. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, milk, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth. Adjust the milk to reach your desired drizzle consistency.

                  Glaze the Scone Bake: Once the scone bake has cooled in the pan for about 10 minutes, carefully drizzle the maple glaze over the warm scone bake, allowing it to soak into the surface for extra flavor before you slice it into wedges.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve the scone bake warm, optionally pairing it with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate your enjoyment. Each bite will melt in your mouth!

                        - Presentation Tips: Dust the top with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving, and arrange the wedges on a decorative platter for an inviting display. Consider adding a few slices of fresh fruit alongside for color and freshness.
