Ingredients
For the Scones:
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 12 tablespoon cold butter grated
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cooked bacon crumbled
- ¼ cup heavy cream

Maple Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Scones
- Preheat oven to 350℉. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With a cheese grater, grate your cold butter and mix into dry ingredients with your hands until it reaches a crumbly texture.
- Create a well in the center of your bowl and add egg, maple syrup and buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in bacon; you want the dough to be just sticky enough to stick to your hands.
- Pour mixture onto a floured surface and shape into a circle. Cut into 6-8 scones, the same way you would a pizza. Then place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush with heavy cream, sprinkle with course sugar and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on edges.
- In a small bowl combine the maple glaze ingredients. Adding additional maple syrup to get the desired texture. Drizzle over slightly cooled scones and enjoy!
