Best Maple Cinnamon Scones Recipes

MAPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl to blend. Cut butter into small chunks and mix until mixture becomes crumbly.
• Stir milk, maple syrup, and almond in a small bowl to blend. Gradually add wet mixture to dry mixture, stirring just until dough forms a ball.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough a few times, but don't overwork it or the scones will be too dense. Roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into triangular wedges. Transfer wedges to an ungreased baking sheet.
• OPTIONAL: beat one egg and brush lightly over scones to create a glaze.
• Bake scones until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.

PUMPKIN SCONES WITH MAPLE-CINNAMON GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, coriander and salt. If using roasted pumpkin, add 2 1/4 cups of the flour; if using canned pumpkin puree, add 2 cups of the flour. Cut in the butter using a bowl scraper until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, egg, and milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold until just combined. (If using roasted pumpkin you may need to add up to 1/4 cup more flour to prevent sticking.)
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 7 times. Form into a flat disc, about 8 inches wide. Cut the disc like a pie into six pieces and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
• For the maple glaze: In a medium bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon. Cover with a damp towel until you are ready to use. Dip the top of each scone in the glaze, letting any excess glaze drip back into the bowl. Place on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with the pearled sugar and let set.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the pumpkin into quarters and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil and lightly season with salt. Roast until softened, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool, then scoop out the flesh and mash until smooth. The pumpkin puree will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Next, add to the buttermilk, the maple syrup and vanilla, and add this to the dry mixture, and stir well. If necessary, add extra milk, a tablespoon at a time to the mix until a soft dough is reached, and then transfer dough to a floured surface and knead slightly, until smooth.
• Divide dough into 4 equal portions, and roll each portion into rounds; place on oiled tray. Cut a cross through the top of the dough about 5mm deep.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon together, grind in some nutmeg. Mix.
