Maple Glazed Cinnamon Scones

Step 1

To make the scones, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.

Step 4

Place dough on a floured work surface and use your hands to separate dough into two evenly sized balls.

Step 5

Pat each ball into a circle about 8 inches across and 1 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each circle of dough into 8 triangles.

Step 6

Place triangles on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until light and fluffy and golden brown. Do not overbake.

Step 7

While scones are cooling, prepare the glaze.  Add brown sugar, butter, and milk to a small sauce pan over low heat and whisk until butter has melted. Heat for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, to warm milk.

Step 8

Remove from the heat and whisk in maple syrup and maple extract.

Step 9

Gradually stir in powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until the glaze is smooth and thick.

Step 10

Dip the tops of each scone in the glaze and let set.
