List of Ingredients
3/4 Cup Chopped pecans
2 1/4 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon Baking soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Maple syrup
3/4 Cup Whipping cream
Creamy Maple Topping:
1/3 Cup Butter -- softened
1/4 Cup Maple syrup
1/4 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roast the pecans in a baking pan for 5-7 minutes. In
a food processor, process 1/3 cup of the pecans until
fairly well ground. In a bowl, combine the pecans (chopped
and ground), flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Stir
in the whipping cream and syrup until mixed. Increase oven
to 425F. Grease a baking sheet. Place the dough onto a
lightly floured surface or pastry board and knead for 30
seconds. Pat the dough into a 10 inch circle on the greased
baking sheet. Make 4 criscrossing cuts in the dough with a
sharp knife (to divide the dough into wedges). Bake for
10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
While scones are baking, beat the butter with a mixer in a
small bowl until fluffy. While mixing, slowly add the maple
syrup and cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Serve with
the warm scones.
