📝 Preparation Steps

Scones:

Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Wet ingredients

In a glass measuring cup, whisk cream, syrup, egg, and extract.

large egg1

Dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the pieces of butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips (or a pastry cutter), work the butter into the flour by rubbing it quickly into small pieces. Proceed until the mixture resembles a sandy texture with pebble-sized pieces of butter (the pieces of butter will be irregularly shaped; that's fine).

brown sugar (packed)3 tablespoonsbaking powder1 tablespoonchilled unsalted butter (cut into pieces)6 tablespoonsbutter (melted or browned* (see note))2 tablespoons

Combine dough

Pour the cream mixture into the flour. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir the dough until it starts to come together. Once it’s almost all the way combined, dump the dough onto a floured work surface and knead it a couple of times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a ¾ inch thick circle or rectangle. Cut into 8 pieces (I made triangles).

Bake

Place the scones on the baking sheet. Bake for ⏱️ 12-16 minutes, until the bottoms are beginning to brown and the tops are light golden brown. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool completely.

Maple icing:

Glaze

Whisk all ingredients until smooth and combined. Taste and add more maple extract, if desired. Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more powdered sugar (to thicken) or more cream (to thin). Drizzle or spoon icing over the scones. Allow the icing to set (about ⏱️ 15 minutes) before serving.
