Ingredients
  

For the Scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

2/3 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg

For the Maple Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1-2 teaspoons milk (for adjusting consistency)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For Optional Toppings:

Chopped pecans or walnuts

A sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is uniform and well blended.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter directly to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, gently work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining for flakiness.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together the whole milk, pure vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

          Form the Dough: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the two mixtures together until just combined. Be sure not to overmix—the dough should be slightly lumpy.

            Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a knife or a pastry cutter to divide the dough into 12 squares, or shape into rounds for mini scones if preferred.

              Bake: Place the cut scones in the prepared baking pan, ensuring they are slightly touching each other to promote soft sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops turn a light golden color.

                Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix until smooth, and adjust the consistency with additional milk if necessary.

                  Glaze the Scones: Once the scones are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Drizzle the warm maple glaze generously over the scones, allowing it to soak slightly in. Optionally, top with chopped nuts and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.

                    Serve: Let the glaze set for a few minutes before cutting the scones into squares. Serve warm alongside your favorite coffee or tea, and indulge in the comforting flavors of your Warm Maple Glazed Cinnamon Scone Bake!
