   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2               cups  all-purpose flour -- (250 g)
   5        tablespoons  firmly packed light brown sugar -- divided, (70 g)
   1 1/2      teaspoons  baking powder -- (7.5 g)
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt -- (3 g)
   1           teaspoon  ground cinnamon -- (2 g)
      1/4      teaspoon  baking soda -- (1.25 g)
      1/4      teaspoon  ground ginger
      1/8      teaspoon  ground cardamom
      1/4           cup  cold unsalted butter -- plus (71 g)
   1         tablespoon  cold unsalted butter -- cubed
      3/4           cup  diced Fuyu persimmons -- (134 g)
      7/8             C  cold heavy whipping cream -- plus (210 g)
   2          teaspoons  vanilla extract -- (8 g)
   1              large  egg -- (50 g)
   1           teaspoon  cold heavy whipping cream -- (5 g)
                         Maple Glaze:
   1                cup  confectioners' sugar -- (120 g)
   2 1/2    tablespoons  maple syrup -- (53 g)

The floral sweetness and spicy undertones of persimmons really sing 
in these extra-tender cinnamon-scented scones, brimming with fresh 
pieces of the fruit. A maple syrup glaze brings an extra dose of warmth.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons (42 grams) brown 
sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, and 
cardamom. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is 
crumbly. Toss persimmons in flour mixture. Add 3/4 cup plus 2 
tablespoons (210 grams) cold cream and vanilla, stirring with a fork 
just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently 4 to 
5 times. Roll dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2" round cutter, 
cut dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place 2" apart on prepared 
pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and remaining 1 teaspoon (5 
grams) cold cream. Using a pastry brush, brush top of scones with egg 
wash. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons (28 grams) brown sugar.

Bake until golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 
minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack. 
Drizzle with Maple Glaze. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Maple Glaze: Makes 2/3 cup

In a small bowl, place confectioners' sugar. Whisk in maple syrup; 
slowly whisk in cream until smooth. Use immediately.
