Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 cup ground oats
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup frozen unsalted butter
•
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
•
3/4 cup heavy cream
•
2 tablespoons heavy cream, or as needed
•
1 large egg
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon maple-flavored extract
•
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
•
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
•
1 teaspoon maple-flavored extract
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
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.
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.
5
Place wedges 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining cream.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until browned at the edges, 14 to 16 minutes.
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.
8
Let scones cool slightly, or if you can't wait, glaze warm and enjoy with a cup of coffee!
