Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 12 tbsp cold butter grated
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cooked bacon crumbled
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- course sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Grate the cold butter using a cheese grater and mix it with the dry ingredients using your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the egg, maple syrup, and buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the crumbled bacon until the dough is slightly sticky to the touch.
- Transfer the mixture onto a floured surface and shape it into a circle. Cut into 6-8 scones as you would a pizza and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with heavy cream, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Prepare the maple glaze by mixing the glaze ingredients in a small bowl, adjusting with more maple syrup if needed, and drizzle over the slightly cooled scones.
