Directions
Maple Cinnamon Scones, I created this recipe by combining and modifying a few other scone recipes It turned out nicely — a huge hit with friends and family! This is a more traditional scone recipe, somewhat (although not exactly) like the kind you would find in England Feel free to play around with the amounts of cinnamon and almond The almond can easily be cut down to 1/2 teaspoon if you’d like more of the cinnamon and maple flavor to come out The maple flavor will be very subtle either way, but always delicious! I prefer them unglazed (and it’s healthier anyway)!, Taste was good, but the consistency wasn’t right Too soft for scones , I made these for breakfast, and *yum*! For the flour, I substituted King Arthur’s White Whole Wheat Flour (I also threw in a little more cinnamon and used vanilla instead of almond, but hey ) The scones rise as high as the ones in the picture, but they were still fully-cooked and moist I opted for the unhealthy route; I brushed them with egg white, gave them a liberal coating of cinnamon sugar, and then iced them with a simple milk-and-powdered-sugar glaze
