Cinnamon Scones
Cinnamon SconesBrown Sugar Cinnamon Scones, I think I could eat one of these scones every day, I love them, and the other person in the family who would stand by me and eat one too, now lives in Toronto.
But and I honestly have to say that other two members of the family were not so convinced about scones, until I made these amazing Maple Glazed Brown Sugar Cinnamon Scones. They are sooo good.
I have just converted the Italian and our youngest daughter to Scones!
I wanted to make the perfect Fall Scone, full of Autumn flavour and what could say more Fall than Maple Syrup, Cinnamon and Brown Sugar?
Mix them all together and you have the Best Cinnamon Scones.
And an added bonus your house smells amazing too.
I decided to substitute white sugar for brown sugar because I love the taste combination with Cinnamon, and I love Brown Sugar.
I also discovered the addition of some half and half cream makes these richer and a little moister.

I actually made these for an afternoon snack but then they disappeared so quickly I made them again with breakfast in mind and of course don’t forget the Maple Syrup Glaze.
How to Store Scones
The scones should be stored in an airtight container, if you store them at room temperature then they should be eaten within 2 days.
If you store them in the fridge, then they will last up to a week.
How to Freeze Scones
Place the scones in an airtight container or freezer bag. The scones will maintain the best quality for about 2 to 3 months. To defrost them, leave them in the bag or container and defrost at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving.
And if you ask me they would make the perfect addition to a Holiday Brunch. Enjoy!

CJ says
These scones look amazing! I’m wondering if it would be okay to use buttermilk in the dough instead of half and half? I have a huge carton of buttermilk I need to use.
Rosemary says
Hi CJ, I really don’t know how that would work, because buttermilk does have a sour taste, that half and half doesn’t. I have never tried it with buttermilk, so I can’t say for sure. Let me know if you do try it. 🙂
kylie says
if i triple the recipe to make thirty scones, do i need to alter the cooking time?
Rosemary says
Hi Kylie, you shouldn’t have to adjust the cooking time unless you make them smaller, then bake them for less time about 3 or 4 minutes less (start checking at 10 minutes for doneness). Hope that helps.
Meagan says
first impression, my house smells AMAZING! this was my first time attempting scones and i thought these sounded delicious and i was damn right! my whole family enjoyed them, even my picky younger brother. thanks for the recipe
Rosemary says
Hi Meagan, thanks so much, so glad you and your family liked them. Nothing like a house smelling of cinnamon. Have a great week.
Ashley says
Do these need to be stored in the refrigerator or can they be left out at room temp?
Rosemary says
Hi Ashley, the scones should be stored in an airtight container, if you store them at room temperature then they should be eaten within 2 days, if you store them in the fridge then they will last up to a week. Or you could freeze them (in an airtight or freezer bags), and in the freezer they will keep (if properly stored) up to 3 months. Hope that helps.
Janet says
Very yummy, my kids loved it.
Rosemary says
Thanks Janet, so glad they loved them.
Patricia Bendler says
These look delicious, so I’ll have to give them a try! I’m not very good at cutting in butter. Could I use my food processor? Thank you!
Rosemary says
Hi Patricia, you can use a fork or even your fingers to cut in the butter, rather than a food processor. Let me know how it goes. So I woke up this morning thinking yeah you probably could use a food processor, just pulse a few times and continue with the recipe, don’t make the whole recipe in the food processor though. 🙂
Jill Rogers says
Oh my god! These are holy grail scones! I’ve tried so many recipes that were bland and didn’t end up with a scone texture. These are perfect. A hint of sweetness and the maple glaze pairs with the cinnamon so nicely!
Rosemary says
Hi Jill, thanks so much, these scones have become a favourite of our also. So glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
Kristy says
Could these be frozen and eaten at a later date?
Rosemary says
Hi Kristy, yes these can be frozen, just place them in an airtight freezer bag or container. They will last 2-3 months in the freezer. Hope that helps
C. Thatcher says

Rosemary says
Hi I hope you enjoyed the scones. Let me know.
Joe says
1. THESE SCONES ARE AMAZING! I used heavy cream instead of half-and-half since that’s what I had on hand and the flavor and texture I ended up with was better than any scone I’ve attempted before.
2. If I were to make them about half as large what do you think the cooking time might end up being? 10 minutes? I’m nervous about wasting a batch with a bad bake
Rosemary says
Hi Joe, thanks so much, so glad you like them. Yes I would go for 10 minutes. You can put a toothpick through them if it comes out clean they are done, also tap them if it sounds hollow then they are done, hope that helps.
Rachel says
Oh my goodness! I made these from your recipe quite some time ago and then lost the recipe!! So thankful to have found it again. Guess what I’m making after work?? These are really delicious and the presentation is wonderful. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

We were looking for an easy scone recipe with all ingredients in our pantry and came upon yours. Easy and delicious with a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday morning.
Rosemary says
Hi Jennifer, thanks so much so glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
Sophie says
What “cream” do you use? Is it half and half like with the glaze?
Rosemary says
Hi Sophie, yes half and half would be fine to use. Hope you enjoy them.
Kathy Furgal says
Just made these and they are delicious. I don’t normally glaze my scones, but the glaze really makes a huge difference. Love these and will certainly make them again and again and again and again etc. Thanks.
Rosemary says
Hi Kathy, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed them. Yeah, sometimes you just need a glaze. 🙂
