-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup pure maple spice
1/2 cup maple sugar -- or granulated sugar
1 tablespoon apple pie spice
1/2 cup butter -- softened
2/3 cup raisins -- optional
2 tablespoons butter -- melted
Maple Glaze:
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
milk -- as needed
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 15 x 10 x 1" baking pan with parchment
paper;, extending edges over ends; set aside. In a lg bowl combine
flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender,
cut in 1/2 c cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk
and maple syrup all at once. Using a fork, stir just until dough forms a ball.
On a lightly floured surface knead dough gently for 10 - 12
strokes. If desired, place dough between two pieces of parchment
paper. Roll or pat dough into a 14 x 10" rectangle. In a small bowl
combine maple sugar and apple pie spice. Spread dough with 1/2 c
softened butter; sprinkle with sugar-spice mixture. If desired,
sprinkle with raisins. Starting from a long side, roll up in a
spiral. Pinch seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12
slices. Arrange slices, cut sides down, in prepared pan. Drizzle
with the 2 T melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 - 20 min or until golden. Using
edges of parchment paper, lift from pan to a wire rack. Cool
slightly. Drizzle with Maple Glaze.
Maple Glaze:
In a small bowl combine powdered sugar and pure maple syrup. Stir in
enough milk, 1 tsp at a time, to make drizzling consistency.
