A delightful twist on classic scones, these Maple Pecan Oat Scones are tender, flavorful, and topped with a luscious vanilla glaze.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter is key to achieving a flaky texture in the scones.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Toasting the pecans beforehand can enhance their nutty flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and heavy cream. Gradually add this to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
Flour your hands and the surface to prevent sticking.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Check for a golden color to ensure they are baked through.
While the scones cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk to make the glaze.
Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones and let it set before serving.
Drizzle the glaze in a zigzag pattern for an appealing presentation.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade treat!
