Maplepecanscones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside.

• Add the pecans and pulse once. Add the buttermilk mixture and pulse 3 or 4 times, or until the mixture is just moistened. (Do not overmix or the scones will be tough.)
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until it just forms a ball. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch round, about 3/4 inch thick. (To make individual scones, cut into 8 wedges and space apart on the baking sheet.) Brush with buttermilk and bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor; pulse 3 times to combine. Drop cold butter pieces evenly over top and continue to pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, about 6 pulses.
• Transfer flour mixture to a large bowl. Add toasted pecans and cream mixture. Stir until dough begins to come together.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a rough, sticky ball forms. Divide into 2 balls and flatten slightly. Cut each circle into 4 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack, about 10 minutes.

Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
• Place dough on a well-floured surface. Roll dough out to a 3/4- to 1-inch thickness with a well-floured rolling pin (there will be lumps of butter in dough). Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Brush tops of scones with egg wash. Bake until tops are crisp and insides are done, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove baking sheet to wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
• Make the glaze: Combine confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Drizzle each cooled scone with 1 tablespoon glaze (the warmer the scones are when glazed, the thinner the glaze will be). Sprinkle with uncooked oats, if desired, and serve.

• 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.
