Oatmeal Maple Scones

 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour

1 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup pecans

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (cut into 8-10 pieces)

1/3 cup cold heavy cream

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 cold egg

Maple Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1-2 tablespoons water

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer), mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pecans, and raisins on low speed for 10-15 seconds or until combined. Scatter the butter over the top ad beat on low speed for about 30 seconds, or until the butter is somewhat broken down and grape-size pieces are visible. 

In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, maple syrup, and egg until thoroughly mixed. On low speed, pour the cream mixture into the flour-butter mixture and beat for 20 to 30 seconds, or just until the dough comes together. It will be fairly wet.

Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, drop mounded scoops of dough onto a baking sheet, forming 8 scones and spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 25 minutes and top with glaze.
