📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract.

6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

8. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

9. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

10. Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

11. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of milk until smooth.

13. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let it set for 10 minutes before serving.
