Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 x 8 inches in size.
Brush the rolled dough evenly with the maple syrup and sprinkle the chopped nuts and cinnamon over the syrup.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Twist each strip slightly and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl until silky smooth.
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
