Maple Cinnamon Scones

Maple Cinnamon Scones


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl to blend. Cut butter into small chunks and mix until mixture becomes crumbly.

3. Stir milk, maple syrup, and almond in a small bowl to blend. Gradually add wet mixture to dry mixture, stirring just until dough forms a ball.

4. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough a few times, but don't overwork it or the scones will be too dense. Roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into triangular wedges. Transfer wedges to an ungreased baking sheet.

5. OPTIONAL: beat one egg and brush lightly over scones to create a glaze.

6. Bake scones until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.
