How to Make Maple Oat Scones

Terry: Hi I’m Terry and this is my friend and business partner Sarina and today we’re going to make maple oats scones. And we’re going to start with one and three quarters cup of flour. Serina: Add in the flour Terry: So next we’re going to add one a half cups of oats. Next we’re going to add two teaspoons of baking powder. Okay, we’re going to stir that together and then add in some butter. What’s the amount of butter Serina. Serina: It’s ten-en tablespoons, it’s a half a cup plus two tablespoons. Terry: We’ve chopped it up just to make it easier to incorporate and I think it’s good if it’s cool, if it’s at room temperature, its’ a little too soft to do this. so now I’m just going to cut the butter into the oats and the flour. Serina: And every few minutes Terry is cleaning off the pastry blender so it makes it a little bit easier to incorporate the ingredients. And it’s going to take just a few minutes. Terry: I think we are just about there. and then we’re going to add the liquid ingredients that will bind all of these together. Serina: so we have one third of a cup of cream, a basic whipping cream. And one quarter of a cups of maple syrup. And this recipe is so great because this is the only sweetener in the scones. Terry: Spread the egg at this time as well. Serina: Okay Terry: And it’s just a slightly beaten egg that will add into here and the dough is not going to super moist becuse you’re going to be handling it, you’re going to take it out and form it into a disk. So don’t be surprise of it. It feels a little bit crumbly that’s completely normal. Sometimes you might have to add a little bit more liquid, you could do a little bit more cream. You know sometimes maybe your egg is a little bit smaller or you know they conditions are always a little bit different. So feel totally comfortable in adding a little bit more cream especially you could also do that the maple syrup if you wanted to but I think the cream would be the easiest. Serina: Sure. Terry: We are also going to add half a cup of walnuts. Serina: They’ve been chopped. Terry: If you love nuts, you can add more if you want to or if you’re not I’m not fan then you can completely leave on that. I’m going to go ahead and turn it out onto the counter top. Serina: So I’m going to pack this down into a round, I want to make it circular in about one inch thick, and then I’m just going to take a nice big knife and cut it into pie shape slices that are equal and about eight of them. so I’m just taking a spatula and I have a pie shapes spatula but any shape will work just fine. And I’m going to just put those on to the baking sheet. So we’ll pop this in the oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Terry: Maple oats scones are out of the oven and they’ve cooled off a little bit and we’re going to make a glaze, a maple glaze. I’ve got a tablespoon of butter already melted and we’re going to add two tablespoons of pure maple syrup. And then we’re going to add a tablespoon of cream and you know you can make this is a thick or as many as you like. It’s just I think we’re going to make a more of a glaze type that we glaze type that we drizzle over the top. But I have seen more people that are actually made it thick and they frost it. so whatever your preference is. So now we’re now we’re going to add a cup of powdered sugar. Serina: So she is going to whisk it all up until there’s no more lumps and this just takes a few seconds.
