Maple Scone Recipe Bakery Style

Updated June 02, 2020 Josh LOVES maple bars. He prefers donuts from our favorite local shop, but he will still eat a maple bar from the grocery store. If I send him to the store in the morning, he almost always comes home with a donut. And sometimes he will try and hide his donut splurge from me by eating the donut in the car. It never works! I can smell the maple on him as soon as he walks in the door. He can’t fool me:) Over the weekend, Josh went to the store to pick up a few groceries. He came home empty handed and I didn’t smell maple. I looked at the receipt and no donut! I was shocked. I asked Josh why he didn’t get a maple bar. He looked at me with a sad face and said they were out of maple bars. Poor guy! Josh couldn’t get his maple craving to go away, so he made Maple Scones instead! I like scones better than donuts so it was a win for me:) Josh had to go back to the store to buy heavy cream to make the scones. He was determined…or maybe he was checking to see if they made any new donuts..ha! They must have still been out because he came home and got busy on the scones! The scones are made with heavy cream and butter…so you know they are going to be good! They are light and fluffy and so good with the sweet maple glaze! If you are a maple bar fan, you will love these scones too! Josh brought me a warm scone to enjoy while I was feeding the baby, I know I am spoiled. I took a bite and thought the scone was really good! Josh did a fabulous job. I had an idea though. I thought Josh’s Maple Scones would be even better with candied pecans on the top. I went into the kitchen, chopped up some candied pecans, and added them to a few of the scones. Josh asked me what I was doing to his precious scones. You see, Josh is allergic to nuts and can’t have pecans, but I can! I told Josh that most people would appreciate my addition to his scones, so he said fine. I wasn’t trying to take over his recipe, but I just made a batch of candied pecans and knew they would be SO good on the Maple Scones. I was right! 🙂 And don’t worry, I left him plenty of plain scones to eat:) The Maple Scones are delicious…with or without the candied pecans. You decide which version you like better:) Props to Josh on creating a fabulous scone recipe. I think I need to tell the grocery store to sell out of maple bars every morning so we can enjoy homemade Maple Scones instead. They were delish!
