Name: Maple-Pecan Scones
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: 2 c. all-purpose flour; 1/4 c. packed dark brown sugar; 1 tbsp. baking powder; 1 tsp. ground cinnamon; 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; 6 tbsp. cold unsalted butter; 1 c. pecans; 1 large egg; 1/4 c. maple syrup; 1 tbsp. maple syrup; 1/4 c. heavy cream; 1 tbsp. heavy cream

Step 1Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Step 2In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut it in until the mixture forms small crumbs. Add the pecans and toss to combine. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

Step 3In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/4 cup each maple syrup and heavy cream. Add to the flour mixture and, using a fork, gently stir until incorporated (do not overmix). Bring the dough together into a ball.

Step 4On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into an 8- by 4-inch rectangle (about 1 inch thick). Cut into eight 2-inch rectangles, separate, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon each maple syrup and cream. Brush the mixture over the tops and bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
