Scottish Oat Maple Scones

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Scottish Oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 stick butter

  diced
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons cream or milk
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• water as needed for consistency
• chopped pecans

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 Using a stand mixer, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, baking powder, baking
  soda, and salt. Add the diced butter and beat for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the
  butter is cut in with larger size pieces left.
• 3 To the dry ingredients, add the maple syrup, egg, and cream; mix just until the
  dough begins to come together. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat
  into an 8-inch disk and cut into 8 wedges for standard size scones. Place the
  scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 17 to 20
  minutes. Then cool while making the icing. See notes on baking time for mini
  scones.
• 4 Wisk together the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup. Stir in water until it
  reaches the desired consistency. Drizzle the icing over cooled scones and
  sprinkle with chopped pecans.
