Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough just starts to come together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it together into a circle, about 1 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to divide the dough into 8 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm scones, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Double Maple Syrup Scones warm or at room temperature and enjoy their sweet, buttery flavor!
