1
Preheat oven to very hot, 425u00b0F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2
Silt flour and cinnamon together into a large bowl. Add butter. Rub in lightly using fingertips. Stir in sugar.
3
Make a well in center of flour. Pour in combined milk and egg all at once. Using a bread and butter knife, mix quickly to a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix.
4
Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Press or roll out to form a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with combined fruit and zest. Roll up tightly from long side to form a log. Cut into 9 even slices.
5
Place close together into prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until scones sound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
6
Glaze: Sift powdered sugar into a small bowl. Add enough water to make icing of a spreadable consistency. Drizzle icing over cool scones. Set aside until set.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
