Method
Make it happen
- 01
Heat oven to 200°C fan and line a large tray. Mix flour, baking powder and the sugar in a bowl. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- 02
Stir in pecans, then mix the maple syrup with the reduced milk and add to the flour.
- 03
Add the milk and maple syrup and mix just until a soft dough forms; do not overwork it.
- 04
Pat out to about 2.5 cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out 8 scones with a floured cutter, pressing straight down; gather scraps gently.
- 05
Brush the tops with a little milk. Bake for 15–18 minutes until risen, golden and cooked through. Cool briefly on a rack.
