Maple Syrup Breakfast Scones With Cappuccino Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the bowl of your food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the diced butter and process until the mixture looks like coarse meal, about 10-15 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the diced cream cheese and pecans (if using), mixing to distribute them evenly. In a measuring cup, use a fork to beat the maple syrup, milk and the egg until combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Use a fork to mix the wet and dry together until the dough starts to come together - don't overmix. Flour your hands and gather the dough then divide it into 2 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, gently shape each half of the dough into a disk that is about 1 1/4 inches tall - you don't want to compress the dough too much. Cut each disk into 6 wedges (they will be small) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Whisk the second egg plus 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash generously on the tops of the scones. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and firm on top. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the instant coffee, water, vanilla and salt in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve the coffee. Whisk in the half and half and the the confectioners' sugar until the glaze is completely smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the shortening and/or butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in walnuts.
• In a separate bowl, combine the milk, syrup, and maple flavoring.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until you've formed a dry soft dough.
• Flour your work surface generously and scrape the dough out of the mixing bolw onto the floured surface.
• Divide the dough in half.
• Gently pat each half of dough into a 7 inch circle about 7/8 inch thick.
• Transfer dough (it will be soft) onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (I use my Silipat mat).
• Using a pizza wheel of sharp bench knife, divide each dough circle into eight wedges.
• Gently separate the wedges so that they're almost touching in the center, but are spaced about an inch apart at the edges.
• bake the scones for 15-18 minutes at 425, or until they're golden brown.
• Combine all frosting ingredients until creamy.
• Gently frost the tops of scones with the maple frosting.
• (I let the scones cool slightly before frosting.).
• Wait a couple of minutes before removing from sheet.
• They will be slightly fragile.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine whole-wheat flour, 1 cup white flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives scissors-fashion, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Add nuts or wheat berries. Stir in the maple syrup and egg and just enough milk so that dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly; if dough is very soft, roll in flour again. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat or roll into an 8-inch disk; cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet, and carefully separate. Serve warm.
