Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole spelt flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup ice cold butter, diced
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 2% m.f.
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans

For the glaze

  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar until combined.
  3. Add the diced butter and blend the butter until it resembles coarse meal.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup, egg and vanilla. Pour the yogurt/egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until combined.
  5. Add the pecans and mix until combined.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface, knead the dough one or two times to form a semi-smooth ball.
  7. Roll-out the dough until 1 1/2 ” thick. Using a 2″ round cookie-cutter, cut your scones and transfer onto the baking sheet, 2″ apart.
  8. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine ingredients for the glaze. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle the scones with the glaze and serve.

Notes

  • After they’ve been formed, you can freeze the scones and bake them whenever you need them. The bake time when cooking from frozen is 15-18 minutes.
