Maple Oat Nut Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Using a food processor or blender, finely grind oats.
• In a mixer, mix flour, oats, sugar, salt and baking powder.
• Add maple syrup and butter and mix well.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with the cream and maple extract.
• Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix well.
• Add pecans and mix just to incorporate.
• Place dough on a floured surface. Knead and pat dough into a 8 to 10 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place wedges on top and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until light brown.
• Remove scones from oven to wire rack. Let cool about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Adjust the amount of water to get to the desired consistency. I like the glaze to be rather thick. Spread lots of glaze over each scone and dry about 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flours, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk, maple syrup and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
• To make the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of the glaze. I like to sprinkle some uncooked oats on the top, for garnish. The warmer the scones are when you glaze them, the thinner the glaze will be.

Steps:

• SCONES:.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix flour, oats, 2 T. brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips, two knives, or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the nuts.
• Stir together 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/2 cup maple syrup to blend and gradually add this mixture to the dry mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together. Add more cream if needed, if the dough seems dry (I didn't need to add more).
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently, about 5 turns. Pat dough into an 8 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
• Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• GLAZE:.
• Whisk together 2 T. brown sugar, 6 T. whipping cream and 2 T maple syrup. Gradually whisk in enough powdered sugar to make a thick glaze. Drizzle glaze over warm scones. Allow to stand until glaze sets.
• Notes: The dough was sticky and difficult to knead, I might skip this step the next time. Also, the scones spread out a lot while baking, so I might try patting the dough into a smaller circle the next time.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts can burn quickly. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cooled walnuts in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
• Whisk together 1/3 cup maple syrup and egg in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture. Gradually stir in just enough milk for the dough to leave the sides of the bowl and form a ball.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll gently in flour to coat; knead lightly about 10 times. Pat into an 8-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk; sprinkle evenly with topping. Score dough circle into 8 wedges with a knife, but do not separate wedges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove immediately from the baking sheet, and separate the scones. Serve warm with whipped cream and maple syrup.
