-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Scones:
3 cups all-purpose flour -- (375 g)
1/4 cup light brown sugar -- firmly packed, (55 g)
4 teaspoons baking powder -- (20 g)
1 teaspoon kosher salt -- (3 g)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- (2 g)
1/2 cup unsalted butter -- cold, cubed (113 g)
1/2 cup chopped dates -- (87.5 g)
1/2 cup chopped pecans -- (57 g)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream -- chilled, (180 g)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract -- (8 g)
1 large egg -- (50 g)
1 tablespoon water -- (15 g)
Maple Glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar -- (120 g)
1/4 cup maple syrup -- (85 g)
1 1/2 teaspoons whole milk -- (7.5 g)
These buttery scones are simple to make (they come together in a
flash) and loaded with flavor. The tender, fluffy crumb is studded
with pecans and dates, which offer a lovely caramel-like sweetness
that's amplified by the maple syrup glaze.
Scones: Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder,
salt, and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until
mixture is crumbly. Stir in dates and pecans. Add cold cream and
vanilla, stirring with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead until
it comes together. Press dough into a 7-inch circle, 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut dough into 8 wedges. Place
on prepared pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 Tbsp (15 g) water. Brush
dough with egg wash.
Bake until golden brown, 24 to 28 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5
minutes. Dip top of scones in Maple Glaze. Let set. Serve warm.
Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together glaze ingredients until
smooth. Use immediately.
