Ingredients
- 4½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats plus additional for sprinkling, quick-cooking
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 pound butter 4 sticks, cold, unsalted, diced
- ½ cup buttermilk cold
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 4 egg lightly beaten, extra-large
- 1 egg for egg wash, beaten with 1 tablespoon milk or water
For the Glaze:
- 1¼ cups confectioners' sugar
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Combine the buttermilk, maple syrup, and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
- 3. Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough ¾ to 1-inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter and place on baking sheet.
- 4. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
- 5. To make the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes, and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of glaze. Sprinkle some uncooked oats on the top, for garnish. The warmer the scones are when you glaze them, the thinner the glaze will be.
