These Cinnamon Raisin Scones are tender and soft, lightly spiced with cinnamon, filled with plump raisins, brushed with butter, and sweetened with a touch of turbinado sugar topping.
They are perfect alongside a cup of coffee for breakfast or as a small batch dessert!
Cinnamon scones are soft, tender, and slightly fluffy. They are less crumbly and less dry than a traditional scone and they are incredibly delicious, too.

How to make Cinnamon Raisin Scones
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in the raisins.

Mix in the heavy cream. Let the mixer run on low to knead gently until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. Add in small amounts of flour or heavy cream if needed. You don’t want the dough to be too dry or too sticky.
