These not-too-sweet scones are my perfect combination of a crunchy buttery crust with a soft interior - butter and heavy cream get the job done, so it's not exactly a light breakfast treat. I love the nuttiness of the sesame seeds paired with the comforting cinnamon (a spice which, in my opinion, should be in every breakfast baked good for how it instantly makes you feel warm and cozy.) The predominant sweetener here is maple syrup, also a flavor that evokes breakfast for me. The sweet glaze is absolutely necessary to balance this less-sweet scone.
