Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons butter ½ stick
- 2 eggs divided
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup cherries pitted and chopped
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
- coarse sugar for decorating, optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a fork, pastry tool or food processor, until butter pieces are small and flour-coated. Mixture will resemble sandy crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then remove 2-3 teaspoons. Set the smaller amount aside for later use to glaze the scones.
- Stir the maple syrup into the larger quantity of beaten egg. Pour into the dry mix and pulse or stir until just moistened.
- Gently mix in the cherries & pecans, then dump onto a floured surface to knead a couple times. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add a little milk or water, a teaspoon at a time. If it's too wet to hold together, add some additional flour.
- Pat mixture into an approximately 6 x 6 inch square . Cut the square into four 3 x 3 inch pieces, then cut each of those on a diagonal to make 8 triangular scones. Transfer scones to a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with parchment.
- Beat a teaspoon of water into the reserved egg to make an egg wash. Brush each scone with some of the beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 400 F for 15 – 20 minutes until just golden and an inserted toothpick comes out dry.
- Serve warm or cold.
