MAPLE-OATMEAL SCONES

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:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground oats, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. Add the butter pieces and use a pastry cutter to work the butter and dry ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
• Whisk together the cream, maple extract and egg in a small bowl. Pour into the flour mixture, stirring gently until it all comes together. (The mixture will not come together in one cohesive ball; it should be in a few large clumps with some crumbs in the bowl.) If it is overly crumbly and will not come together at all, add a couple of tablespoons of extra cream and work it in.
• Turn the dough out onto a cutting board or floured surface and use your hands to press it into a 6- to 8-inch circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges (or you can cut into smaller wedges to get more).
• Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until poufy and set and just barely golden, 20 to 24 minutes. (They shouldn't have much color on them at all.) Allow to cool completely.
• For the icing: Combine the powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee and maple extract in a large bowl. Make sure the icing's thick but still pourable.
• Drizzle a very generous amount of the icing onto each scone, then sprinkle on a few more chopped pecans. Allow the icing to set completely, then serve.
• The scones will keep nice and fresh for days in a plastic zipper bag.

• 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.

MAPLE OAT SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place flour, flax seed meal, oats, sugar, salt and baking powder in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse several times until the mixture takes on the texture of a flour. Add the maple syrup and butter pieces to the food processor and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed. Add the egg, milk and maple extract and process until a sticky dough is formed.
• 2.Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Place pecans in center of dough and knead several times, distributing pecans evenly throughout the dough. Pat dough into a 7- to 8-inch circle, and cut into eight triangle wedges.
• 3. Line a cookie sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper. Place scone wedges on the prepared cookie sheet, approximately a half-inch apart, and bake 13 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes. Whisk together glaze ingredients (orange juice and powdered sugar) and drizzle over scones, if desired.

MAPLE OAT NUT SCONES

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.
