ingredients
- Scones
- 1 cup oats (quick or old-fashioned)
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cold butter (small pieces)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon maple extract
- 2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- Maple Glaze

directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
- 2
Using a food processor or blender, 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 egg 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 and pat dough into a 8 to 10 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
- 9
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place wedges on top and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until light brown.
- 10
Remove scones from oven to wire rack. Let cool about 3 to 5 minutes.

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.
