Ingredients
-
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
Topping:
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons cold butter
Scones:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup cold butter
-
⅓ cup maple syrup, or as needed
-
1 egg
-
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
-
1 cup whipped cream (Optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
-
Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts can burn quickly. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
-
Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Place 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cooled walnuts in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
-
Whisk together 1/3 cup maple syrup and egg in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture. Gradually stir in just enough milk for the dough to leave the sides of the bowl and form a ball.
-
Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll gently in flour to coat; knead lightly about 10 times. Pat into an 8-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk; sprinkle evenly with topping. Score dough circle into 8 wedges with a knife, but do not separate wedges.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove immediately from the baking sheet, and separate the scones. Serve warm with whipped cream and maple syrup.
