Ingredients

  • Topping
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) finely chopped nuts, toasted*
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) firm butter or margarine
  • Scones
  • 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) firm butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped nuts, toasted*
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) pure maple syrup or maple-flavoured syrup
  • 1 egg
  • About 2 tbsp (30 mL) milk
  • Additional milk

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 400ºF (375ºF for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). In small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons flour, the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons nuts. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter, using pastry blender or fork, until crumbly; set aside.
  •  
    2
    In large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, the brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup nuts. Stir in maple syrup, egg and just enough of the 2 tablespoons milk so dough leaves side of bowl and starts to form a ball.
  •  
    3
    Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 8-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with additional milk. Sprinkle with topping. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
  •  
    4
    Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.
