Maple Nut Scones

These scones were hands down the best thing we’ve eaten all weekend long. Maybe even longer than that. I never know what we’re going to be hungry for once the weekend comes around, and making scones was totally unplanned. But when the mood strikes, I am more than willing to get to work.

I was not prepared for how much I would like them. I eventually had to hide them to keep us from eating just another one. They are THAT good.

For the Scones

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla or maple extract
• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

For the Maple Glaze

• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup pecans, chopped

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
