Ingredients
  

FOR THE SCONES

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar plus extra for top of scones later
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup milk

FOR THE GLAZE

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions
 

TO MAKE THE SCONES

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.
  • Using your finger tips or a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the mixture until coarse.
  • Stir in vanilla and milk (reserve 2 tablespoons of milk to brush on scones later). With floured hands, form the dough into a ball. If the mixture is too wet/sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry/crumbly, add more milk. Add only a little bit at a time!
  • Place the ball of dough onto a floured surface and pat down into a circle (about 1.5 inches thick). With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  • Place scones on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and top. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before adding the glaze.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE

  • Sift the powdered sugar in a small bowl and whisk with milk and pure maple syrup. Add a little more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin.
  • Drizzle over scones. Serve with tea and enjoy!
