Enjoy warm Canadian maple scones with whipped cream and a maple syrup drizzle.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup cold butter
  • 0.33333334326744 cup maple syrup, or as needed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
  • 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously scatter walnuts on a baking sheet.
  • Toast walnuts in the oven until they turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn them. Allow the nuts to cool to room temperature before using.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cooled walnuts in a small bowl. Use two knives or a pastry blender to cut in 2 tablespoons butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Combine 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, as well as baking powder and salt. Use two knives or a pastry blender to cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add the final touch of 1/2 cup walnuts and give it a gentle stir.
  • Combine 1/3 cup maple syrup and egg in a small bowl, then mix into the flour mixture. Gradually add milk until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, coating it with flour by rolling gently. Knead lightly about 10 times and pat it into an 8-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk, sprinkle topping evenly, and score into 8 wedges without separating them.
  • Bake until golden brown in the preheated oven, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet right away, separate the scones, and enjoy warm with whipped cream and maple syrup.
