Step 1

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon. You may have a few brown sugar lumps; that's fine. Work in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla.

Step 3

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. With a wooden spoon, stir just until a dough forms.

Step 4

Turn dough onto a floured surface and form into a disc about 1-inch tall. Cut into 8 wedges.

Step 5

Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet (a cookie sheet lined with a silpat is great, too) at 350 degrees for about 12 - 14 minutes until the scones begin to brown on the bottom.

Step 6

Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
