Recipe #23: Toasted Hazelnut Whole Wheat Scones with Maple(less) Glaze
Posted by Unknown
My new favorite thing to bake are scones. They are so easy and fun to mix up and they are just so good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. I was most excited about drizzling the glaze over the scone and savoring every bite when fresh out of the oven.
The recipe was easy to follow and the dough came along easily enough. Popped them into the oven and ended up baking about 5 minutes passed the max cooking time specified. I waited patiently and let them cool and worked on the glaze.
The glaze is not for the calorie conscious. It consists of butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream and pure maple syrup. OMG. I made the glaze and then had to taste it so consumed a pretty generous spoonful of the stuff. Yummy. I spooned the glaze over the scone and it dripped over the sides onto the parchment paper and then I enjoyed every single morsel.
And then this happened... I started cleaning up the kitchen and there sitting on the counter was the measured out maple syrup. I FORGOT TO ADD IT! But it was too late to mix up a new batch since I had already completed the scones so lesson learned. I can't even imagine what the glaze will taste like next time because they were still so darn good.
