Maple Pecan Scones

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups Flour
• 1/2 Cup Oats
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 2 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Tsp Baking Soda
• 1/3 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Maple Sugar
• 1 Stick Cold Butter
• 1 Egg
• 4 Tbs Farnham Farm Maple Syrup
• 1/3 – 2/3 Cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Chopped Farnham Farm Maple Pecans – Or nut of choice
• Farnham Farm Maple Cream Spread (for topping)

Instructions: 

1. Using food processor or blender, chop oats into finer pieces. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut cold butter into 1/4 inch pieces and mix into dry ingredients. Add egg and maple syrup until combined. Slowly add buttermilk until the mixture forms a ball. Add maple pecans or nut of choice (reserve some for garnish).
2. Move the dough to a flowered surface and divide into two. Flatten each piece using your hands or a rolling pin, into about a 6″- 7″ circle and cut into 6 pieces. Place onto a baking sheet (recommend using parchment paper to avoid sticking). Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.​
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 17-20 minutes. Until the scones are lightly browned and no longer doughy in the middle. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
4. Once the scones are semi cooled-cooled, used maple cream spread (or make a maple icing using maple syrup and confectioners sugar) and drizzle or frost over the scones. Top with remaining nuts.
5. Enjoy!
