Maple Walnut And Brown Sugar Scones
Source of Recipe
www
3 Cups all-purpose flour
4 Teaspoons baking powder
3/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 Cup unsalted butter
1/3 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Walnuts
(Preferably Lightly Toasted)
1/2 Cup oatmeal
1/3 Cup pure maple syrup
1 Teaspoon pure vanilla
2/3 Cup Milk -- Or
Light Cream
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter -- Melted
1/4 Cup pure maple syrup
1/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a double-up baking sheet (two sheets stacked
together) with parchment paper.
In a food processor, place the flour, baking powder, salt and
cinnamon. Pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse to cut or break butter
into flour mixture. Pulse to make a sandy mixture.
Place mixture in a large bowl. Add walnuts and oatmeal. Make a well in
the center, add maple syrup, vanilla and most of milk. Stir with a fork to
make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly
to make a cohesive mass, adding a bit more milk if required if dough seems
too dry.
Shape into two rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into five wedges
each. Place on baking sheet. Brush each with melted butter, then drizzle
with some maple
syrup and brown sugar.
Bake until browned - 15-18 minutes.
NOTES : Pure maple syrup, a smack of brown sugar, butter, vanilla and the
heady aroma of toasted walnuts make these scones very satisfying. Pecans
can replace walnuts.
