- The scone turned out too dry. Why?
- You probably overbaked it. A scone is good when it is just baked through inside, but still moist.
Cinnamon scones
The cinnamon scone evokes the taste of cosy autumn-winter evenings. The cinnamon mixed into the dough adds warmth, while the sugar sprinkling before baking forms a crunchy, caramelised layer on top. This version goes particularly well with a hot latte.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
Tip: Cinnamon tends to clump, it's worth sieving it together with the flour.
2
✓
Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture.
Tip: The colder the butter, the flakier the scone will be.
3
✓
Mix the milk with the egg meant for the dough, then fold into the flour crumbs. Bring the dough together.
Tip: Don't forget: less is more! Only work it until it just comes together.
4
✓
Pat out, cut out. Place on a baking tray, brush with beaten egg.
Tip: Be careful that the egg doesn't run down the side, because it 'locks' the dough and it won't be able to rise.
5
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: Before baking, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for extra crunch.
