MAPLE CINNAMON SCONES
I created this recipe by combining and modifying a few other scone recipes. It turned out nicely -- a huge hit with friends and family! This is a more traditional scone recipe, somewhat (although not exactly) like the kind you would find in England. Feel free to play around with the amounts of cinnamon and almond. The almond can easily be cut down to 1/2 teaspoon if you'd like more of the cinnamon and maple flavor to come out. The maple flavor will be very subtle either way, but always delicious! I prefer them unglazed (and it's healthier anyway)!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl to blend. Cut butter into small chunks and mix until mixture becomes crumbly.
- Stir milk, maple syrup, and almond in a small bowl to blend. Gradually add wet mixture to dry mixture, stirring just until dough forms a ball.
- Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough a few times, but don't overwork it or the scones will be too dense. Roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into triangular wedges. Transfer wedges to an ungreased baking sheet.
- OPTIONAL: beat one egg and brush lightly over scones to create a glaze.
- Bake scones until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.
MAPLE CINNAMON SWEET POTATO SCONES WITH PECANS
This is a redo of a savory recipe I've made from I'm Pat, for a Gluten Free Kumara Damper, which inspired me to modify this recipe into a sweet(ish) scone, made with cinnamon, pecans, a bit of brown sugar and maple syrup, and for those who don't have self-rising flour handy, include the measurements for the baking powder and salt. I've also changed the flour, using part oat flour, and part all purpose or whole wheat, your choice - although use your imagination, or what's on hand. The ones in the photo were made with all-purpose and oat flour. You can make oat flour by whirring some oats in your grinder until they resemble flour. I love oat flour!! These are a real favourite at home! Merlin and Arwen (my parrots), negotiate for as much of the sweet potato as they can - generally the rule is that they can have all but 1/2 cup of it. When the scones come out of the oven is another story!! I hope you like my version of them - feel free to change it up as you'd like to.

TWO-BITE MAPLE CINNAMON SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking pad or parchment paper. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Add the cold butter, working it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the maple syrup and cream and mix until just blended. Knead the scone dough about three times and pat into a small circle, about 1/2″ thick. Cut eight small triangles out of the circle and place on your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake scones for 12 minutes until scones start to get golden. Let cool while you make the glaze. To make the glaze, whisk together all ingredients. Drizzle over cooled scones. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use cold butter. This will help the scones stay flaky and tender.
