Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp chilled unsalted butter , cut into pieces
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tsp maple extract
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tsp hot water
  • 1/8 tsp maple flavored extract

Directions:

  1. Set oven rack to lower center of oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Toast walnuts on a baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Cool.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Toss butter pieces in the flour mixture to coat. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in toasted walnuts. Beat egg in a large bowl. Mix in the half-and-half, 1 teaspoon maple extract, and vanilla extract. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until blended, switching from a spoon to your hands as the mixture comes together. Place dough in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  3. Roll chilled dough into a ball on a lightly floured surface. Flatten dough into a 3/4 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  4. Bake scones on a parchment lined baking sheet just until firm and the bottoms are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 3 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
  5. Stir together the confectioners' sugar, hot water, and 1/8 teaspoon maple extract. Drizzle on scones to glaze.
