8 servings

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold butter
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup, or as needed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
  • 1 cup whipped cream (Optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
  • Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts can burn quickly. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cooled walnuts in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
  • Whisk together 1/3 cup maple syrup and egg in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture. Gradually stir in just enough milk for the dough to leave the sides of the bowl and form a ball.
  • Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll gently in flour to coat; knead lightly about 10 times. Pat into an 8-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk; sprinkle evenly with topping. Score dough circle into 8 wedges with a knife, but do not separate wedges.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove immediately from the baking sheet, and separate the scones. Serve warm with whipped cream and maple syrup.
