Ingredients

For the scones

2 cups (8 oz) old-fashioned oats

18 oz flour

2.3 oz sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 oz baking powder

4 oz maple syrup

4 oz cold butter (small pieces)

2 eggs

8 oz buttermilk/sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Maple Glaze

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon maple extract

5 teaspoons water

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Using a food processor finely grind oats.
  3. In a mixer, mix flour, oats, sugar, salt and baking powder.
  4. Add maple syrup and butter and mix well.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and maple extract.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix well.
  7. Add pecans and mix just to incorporate.
  8. Place dough on a floured surface. Knead, pat dough and divide in half. Make 16 triangles.
  9. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place wedges on top and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until lightly brown.
  10. Remove scones from oven to wire rack. Let cool about 3 to 5 minutes.
  11. Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Adjust the amount of water to get to the desired consistency. I like the glaze to be rather thick. Spread lots of glaze over each scone and dry about 15 minutes before serving.
