Maple Oat Nut Scones

I love the maple scones at a local coffee shop, this recipe is an attempt to recreate those. it was my first attempt at making scones and they turned out yummy! i will definitely make these again. edited to add: i have made them again and this time i made muffins! it worked great, i got 12 muffins out of this recipe, baked for the the same time at the same temperature.

Steps

Scones:.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees f.

Mix flour , oats , 2 t.

Brown sugar , baking powder , baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

Add butter and rub in with finger.

Stir in the nuts.

Stir together 1 / 2 cup whipping cream and 1 / 2 cup maple syrup to blend and gradually add this mixture to the dry mixture , stirring just until the dough comes together.

Add more cream if needed , if the dough seems dry.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently , about 5 turns.

Pat dough into an 8 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.

Transfer wedges to baking sheet , spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake until golden , about 20 minutes.

Remove and let cool slightly.

Glaze:.

Whisk together 2 t.

Brown sugar , 6 t.

Whipping cream and 2 t maple syrup.

Gradually whisk in enough powdered sugar to make a thick glaze.

Drizzle glaze over warm scones.

Allow to stand until glaze sets.

Also , the scones spread out a lot while baking , so i might try patting the dough into a smaller circl.
