Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • For the glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. If using nuts, gently fold them in.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  7. Cut the round into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter or knife.
  8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled scones.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter and cream are cold for the best scone texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the scones tender.
  • Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
