Ingredients
  

For the Scone Bake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1/2 cup whole milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional for extra crunch)

For the Maple Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1-2 tablespoons milk (adjust to achieve desired consistency)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until fully blended and smooth.

          Integrate Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently using a spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the packed brown sugar and chopped walnuts, if using.

            Bake the Scone Mixture: Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

              Make the Maple Glaze: While the scone bake is in the oven, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for thickness.

                Finish and Serve: Once the scone bake is done, allow it to cool slightly in the pan. Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the top while it’s still warm. Cut into squares and serve your sweet, comforting treat warm.
