Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a rack in the middle of the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup until well combined. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pulse 3 times to blend. Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, about 6 pulses. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl. Add the toasted pecans and the cream mixture. Stir until the dough just begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until a rough, slightly sticky ball forms. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and flatten each into a circle. Cut each circle into 4 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. (35 minutes)

07

Step

While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the cooled scones. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For best results, ensure the butter is very cold before using. This helps create a flaky scone.
To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool before chopping.
If you don't have a food processor, you can cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips.
Scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
