Ingredients

Scones:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 tablespoon half and half

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the cream, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until you have a crumbly mixture. Create a well in the center and add the beaten egg mixture, stirring just until combined.
  • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it into an 8-inch circle. Cut it into 8 triangles. Place the sliced dough on the baking sheet, leaving space between. Brush them with a little milk, sprinkle with brown sugar, and bake for approximately 16 - 18 minutes.
  • Allow the scones to cool completely before frosting.
  • For the maple syrup glaze, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and maple syrup in a small bowl. If the consistency is too thick, add 1/2 tablespoon of half and half. Mix until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the scones.
  • Enjoy!
