Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Scottish Oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 stick butter diced
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cream or milk
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- water as needed for consistency
- chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a stand mixer, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the diced butter and beat for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the butter is cut in with larger size pieces left.
- To the dry ingredients, add the maple syrup, egg, and cream; mix just until the dough begins to come together. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat into an 8-inch disk and cut into 8 wedges for standard size scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes. Then cool while making the icing. See notes on baking time for mini scones.
For the icing
- Wisk together the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup. Stir in water until it reaches the desired consistency. Drizzle the icing over cooled scones and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Notes
If making mini scones, reduce the baking time to 12 to 14 minutes, but watch them closely.
