Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter cold
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp maple extract (optional)

Maple Glaze

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Glaze Drizzle (used for looks, not as much for taste)

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, maple, and vanilla extract.
  • Cut the butter into very small cubes and mix into flour. Then, make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined (do not over-mix!).
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface, lightly flour your hands, and separate the dough in two equal parts. Lightly knead and form each into a circle, about 1 1/4 inch thick. Cut each circle into 8 equal pieces.
  • Place the 16 mini scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes. While freezing, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly brush each scone with milk. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Mix together glaze ingredients. Dip scones one at a time in glaze and place on cooling rack with foil or paper towel under it to catch any excess glaze.
