Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- ⅓ cups Sugar
- 5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 2 sticks (1 Cup) Unsalted Butter
- ¾ cups Heavy Cream
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Cinnamon Chips
- Topping
- ½ cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1-½ teaspoon Heavy Cream
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Cut butter into pieces, then cut into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cinnamon chips.
- Mix together cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into flour/butter mixture, stirring gently with a fork to combine.
- Turn onto work surface (mixture will be very crumbly and falling apart.) Gently press together on the sides as you flatten (or roll, with a rolling pin) the top. Form either into a large circle or a large rectangle. Mix together topping ingredients, stirring with a fork. Sprinkle over the top of the dough, lightly pressing.
- Cut into wedges (from a circle) or triangles (from a rectangle.) Transfer to a cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Serve with coffee.
