1 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Directions:Preheat oven to 400º.
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 pea-sized 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. Roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You may see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 2-3 inch rounds and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of 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. |
