Brown Sugar and Maple Syrup Scones
===================================================
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Tbsp. cold butter
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
extra cream and sugar
Maple Syrup Glaze
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/8 cup of maple syrup
Powdered Sugar – Enough to make a glaze
Drizzle glaze over warm scones
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into mixture with pastry blender until it resembles a course meal. Add cream and maple syrup to dry ingredients. Mix lightly
with fork until mixture forms a dough. Using hands gently pat the ingredients together. Fold over once or twice or even three times if necessary. Do not over-handle.
Roll into 7-inch round and cut into 6 or 8 wedges. Place 1 inch apart on greased baking sheet; brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
Tip: An easy way to cut in the butter is to use a box grater. The large side of the grater makes the perfect size pieces of butter.
Ann, these sounds super yummy!
I LOVE scones and these look scrumptious!xoxo Pattie
Oh my gosh! I just noticed the tart on your sidebar! I just made one last night for today's book club meeting that looks almost identical (yours is prettier- I was falling asleep!). I must check that out!xoxo Pattie
I just love scones!! These sound lovely!!
They look fantastic! I have only made scones once and they were a disaster. There was no liquid in the recipe and I imagine that's why they were so bad. This recipe sounds like a keeper that I will try! Thanks!
wow che delizia!!
I keep forgetting about box graters! Duh. I use my food processor, in pulse mode of course. I'm having a scone craving lately. These looks dee-lish.
These look fantastic! I just love a good scone!
Oh I must try these! I love maple…give me a maple bar or maple candy and I am a happy camper. I know that I will love the scones!! Thank you for sharing.
I just love maple in anything… what a great scone recipe…thanks!
These look wonderful Ann…I must give them a try!
These look fantastic, I love the addition of the maple syrup drizzle on top, thanks for posting!
LUUUUVRE the idea of maple! With maple syrup season here, this would be perfect!
I've been making maple syrup scones too! A friend gave me a lovely big bottle of maple syrup….. they are soooo yummy. I was just using plain syrup on top…but, will give the glaze a try….. thanks….
Can anything be substituted for the heavy cream and still make a good scone? Thank you.
You can use just milk, buttermilk, or a combination of milk and yogurt. It will all make a good scone. I just like the richness of the cream.
