Canadian Maple Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Additional maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Optional: brush the tops with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with a little additional sugar for added sweetness.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired before serving.

Enjoy these delightful Canadian Maple Scones warm, and share them with friends and family for a truly comforting experience. Perfect for brunch or a cozy afternoon treat!
