Ingredients

  • Divided into two portions, crush a cup of walnuts roughly for the recipe. For the topping, you will need 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour along with 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar. Additionally, include 2 tablespoons of chilled butter.
  • For the scones, gather 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and ½ cup of cold butter. To bind the ingredients, prepare ⅓ cup of maple syrup, adjusting the amount as required. Crack an egg and add 2 tablespoons of milk to enrich the mixture. If desired, serve the scones with a dollop of whipped cream, totaling one cup.

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and laying out walnuts on a baking sheet. Toast the walnuts in the warm oven until they transform into a lovely golden brown color and release their delightful aroma, usually around 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they can easily burn. Allow the walnuts to cool down to room temperature.

Step 2

Now, crank up the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of flour, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and the 1/2 cup of cooled walnuts. Work in 2 tablespoons of butter into the mixture using a pastry blender or two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Incorporate 1/2 cup of butter using a pastry blender or two knives until it forms fine crumbs. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of walnuts and combine.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of maple syrup and an egg; then fold this into the flour mixture. Slowly add milk until the dough comes together and forms a ball, ensuring not to overmix.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it gently in flour, kneading lightly around 10 times. Shape it into an 8-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle the topping evenly. Score the dough into 8 wedges with a knife without separating them.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the scones turn a beautiful golden brown, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Once done, remove them promptly from the baking sheet and separate the wedges. Serve these delightful scones warm, accompanied by whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the art of bundling - Keep your maple scones fresh by wrapping them individually in beeswax wraps to preserve their soft texture and delectable flavor.
  2. 2. Elevate your storage game with dual layers - Store your maple scones in airtight containers layered with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together and maintain their irresistible aroma.
