Maple Walnut And Brown Sugar Scones Recipe
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking pwdr
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 c. unsalted butter
- 1/3 c. Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/2 c. Walnuts (Preferably Lightly Toasted)
- 1/2 c. oatmeal
- 1/3 c. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla
- 2/3 c. Lowfat milk Or possibly Light Cream
- 3 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter Melted
- 1/4 c. pure maple syrup
- 1/4 c. Packed Brown Sugar
Directions
- 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 pwdr, salt and cinnamon. Pulse to combine. Add in butter and pulse to cut or possibly break butter into flour mix. Pulse to make a sandy mix.
- Place mix in a large bowl. Add in walnuts and oatmeal. Make a well in the center, add in maple syrup, vanilla and most of lowfat 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 lowfat 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 maplesyrup and brown sugar.
- Bake till browned - 15-18 min.
- 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.
