Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then, add in all wet ingredients except butter. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 2

Add in cubed cold butter and use your hands or a pastry blender to incorporate. Form the dough into a ball and place in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400 F. and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the oven is done preheating, remove scone dough from the refrigerator and place on pachament-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to press the dough down into a 1-inch thick circle.

Step 4

Carefully cut the circle into 8 small scones. Arrange scones on baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake at 400 F. for 13-17 minutes (mine were perfect after 14 minutes) or until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and cool completely on baking sheet.

Step 5

While the scones cool, make the maple cream by combining all maple cream ingredients in a small bowl or stand mixer. Beat on high until smooth. If a little lumpy, feel free to microwave for 15 seconds (but be sure not to overheat it!) Transfer to refrigerator or serve immediately with scones. Optional: add chopped pecans or walnuts on scones. Enjoy!
