- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Glaze:
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1/8 teaspoon maple flavored extract
- Set oven rack to lower center of oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Toast walnuts on a baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Cool.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Toss butter pieces in the flour mixture to coat. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in toasted walnuts. Beat egg in a large bowl. Mix in the half-and-half, 1 teaspoon maple extract, and vanilla extract. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until blended, switching from a spoon to your hands as the mixture comes together. Place dough in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Roll chilled dough into a ball on a lightly floured surface. Flatten dough into a 3/4 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Bake scones on a parchment lined baking sheet just until firm and the bottoms are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 3 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
- Stir together the confectioners' sugar, hot water, and 1/8 teaspoon maple extract. Drizzle on scones to glaze.
