CHOCOLATE PECAN SCONES
Okay, I have a thing about scones. When they're good, they're light and flaky and full of flavor. Be sure to use really good chocolate that you dice by hand so there are puddles of melted chocolate when you bite into them. And trust me, four teaspoons of Diamond Crystal kosher salt may sound like a lot but it makes all the difference.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons flour with the chocolate and pecans and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 4 cups flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and, with the mixer on low speed, blend until the butter is the size of peas. Measure the cream in a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the eggs, and beat until combined. With the mixer still on low, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine just until blended. Add the chocolate and pecan mixture and mix just until combined. The dough will be very sticky.
- Dump the dough out onto a very well-floured surface and knead it a few times to be sure the chocolate and pecans are well distributed, adding a little flour so the dough doesn't stick to the board. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut the dough with a 3-inch plain round cutter and place the scones on the prepared sheet pans. Reroll the scraps and cut out more scones. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 minutes, switching the pans halfway through, until the tops are lightly browned and the insides are fully baked. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 12 x 18" (30 x 45 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butter, both flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda into the bowl of a food processor (or use a pastry blender). Process until the mixture is very fine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the pecans and dates. Pour the cream and vanilla over the top. Mix with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
- Turn onto a work surface. Press the mixture together very lightly - it should be fairly dry. Cut into twelve 2 1/2" rounds (7 cm) or eighteen 1 1/2" rounds (4 cm). Place on the prepared pan. Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Serve warm. Best served the day they are made.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into small pieces. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Now finely chop the pecans and stir them into the flour mixture. Mix the egg and cream together. Add the mixture to the bowl and stir until just combined.
- Turn the mixture onto a cutting board. The dough will be very crumbly, but do not let your heart be troubled. With your hands, push the mixture together into a large ball. Do not knead or press too much; you want to leave that gluten alone!
- With a rolling pin, very gently roll out the dough into a 10-inch round, about 3/4 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the round into 8 equal-size wedges.
- Transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with a Silpat baking mat. (Or just spray the pan with cooking spray; either one will work!) Bake the scones for 22 to 26 minutes, until they're just barely starting to brown. Do not allow the edges to become dark or the Red Coats will come and get you. Allow the scones to cool completely before icing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir the icing ingredients until smooth. Pour generously over the scones and sprinkle with pecans. Allow the icing to set before serving.

This scone recipe uses heavy cream, maple syrup, and cold butter. Using a food processor makes it fast to incorporate the cold butter. Be sure to toast the pecans to bring out the flavor.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk cream and 3 tablespoons maple syrup together in a bowl.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor; pulse 3 times to combine. Drop cold butter pieces evenly over top and continue to pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, about 6 pulses.
- Transfer flour mixture to a large bowl. Add toasted pecans and cream mixture. Stir until dough begins to come together.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a rough, sticky ball forms. Divide into 2 balls and flatten slightly. Cut each circle into 4 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack, about 10 minutes.
- While the scones are cooling, whisk 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup together until well combined.
- Drizzle glaze over scones.
