Maple Scones image

The maple flavor shines through without being overpowering in this recipe, adapted from the Samuel Sewall Inn, in Brookline, Mass. It's more of a traditional scone, not cakey and soft, but crumbly and robust - strong enough to stand up to a slathering of Irish butter. They're best served warm, on a fall morning, alongside a cup of tea or a strong cup of coffee.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup white flour, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound chilled butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts or cooked wheat berries
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
Vegetable oil or nonstick spray for greasing baking sheet

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine whole-wheat flour, 1 cup white flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives scissors-fashion, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Add nuts or wheat berries. Stir in the maple syrup and egg and just enough milk so that dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly; if dough is very soft, roll in flour again. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat or roll into an 8-inch disk; cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet, and carefully separate. Serve warm.

I didn't have any maple syrup, so I used honey instead. The scones were still delicious!

The scones were a little too dense for my taste. I think I would add a little more baking powder next time.
