How to Make Double Maple Syrup Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, milk, and egg.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  7. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. While the scones are baking, prepare the icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Add milk, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  11. Let the scones cool slightly before drizzling with the maple icing.
