Maple Walnut Scones
The scone is a classic pastry for English tea time, and we've prepared it in a special maple walnut version. The natural sweetness of maple syrup and the crunchy texture of walnuts create a perfect harmony in this soft, crumbly pastry. HINT: If you want a more intense walnut flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before mixing them into the dough. Do not overwork the dough to keep the scone light and soft! This scone is the perfect choice for a cup of tea or coffee, but drizzling it with extra maple syrup will make the experience even more special.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3
Cut the cold butter into cubes, then use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Coarsely chop the walnuts and add them to the flour mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, milk, and egg.
6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be soft.
7
On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Cut into triangles or rounds using a cookie cutter.
8
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let cool for a few minutes before serving fresh, drizzled with extra maple syrup or a pat of butter.
