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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 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.

Step 12

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

Step 13

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