Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
• ½ cup frozen unsalted butter
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
• 1 teaspoon maple-flavored extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream, or as needed
• 1 cup ground oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mix flour, ground oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate in frozen butter and toss to combine. Stir in walnuts. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

Step 3

Mix 3/4 cup cream, egg, vanilla, and maple extract together in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

Step 4

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until nearly smooth, 10 to 12 strokes. Divide in half. Pat each portion into 3/4-inch rounds, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each round into six wedges.

Step 5

Place wedges 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining cream.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until browned at the edges, 14 to 16 minutes.

Step 7

While scones bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and maple extract together with a whisk in a small bowl. Add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. It should be fairly thick.

Step 8

Let scones cool slightly, or if you can't wait, glaze warm and enjoy with a cup of coffee!
