Maple Syrup Scented Scones
Ready In: 32 mins
Yields: 16 scones
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (I prefer Robin Hood)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup crisco all vegetable shortening, cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1⁄2 cup 35% cream
- 1⁄2 cup pure maple syrup
GLAZE
- 2 tablespoons 35% cream
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or 2 knives or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- In a separate bowl, stir together whipping cream and maple syrup. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until dough comes together. Add extra cream 1 tablespoons at a time if dough is too dry. Knead dough together gently.
- Pat dough into an 8-inch round and cut into 16 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven 15-17 minutes or until golden or a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack.
- GLAZE: Combine whipping cream and maple syrup in medium bowl. Add icing sugar to form glaze. Drizzle or spread glaze over warm scones. Allow glaze to set before serving.
