Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Milk (for glaze)
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, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
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.
Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
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.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let it set for 10 minutes before serving.
