Adjustments I Made To This Starbucks Date Scone Recipe Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly chilled. Not only the ingredients but also the mixing utensils and bowls as well. After combining the dry ingredients I placed them in the freezer for about 15 minutes. The butter should be chilled to the point that it crumbles when you try to slice it. And it should be cut into pieces before cutting it into the flours. This recipe is not to clear on that. If you use a food processor be sure the processor bowl and blade is thoroughly chilled and use pulses just until crumbly. Following this step will assure you of a lighter and flakier scone. Combine the buttermilk and egg before adding to the dry ingredients. The dates should go in last. Most scone recipes will double in height in the oven. I like a finished scone to be about one inch high so I rolled mine to 1/2 inch. I also preheated my oven to 400 degrees. I feel like this is the optimum temperature for a light and flaky scone.

MAPLE OAT NUT SCONES - STARBUCKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Using a food processor or blender, finely grind oats.
• In a mixer, mix flour, oats, sugar, salt and baking powder.
• Add maple syrup and butter and mix well.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with the cream and maple extract.
• Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix well.
• Add pecans and mix just to incorporate.
• Place dough on a floured surface. Knead and pat dough into a 8 to 10 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place wedges on top and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until light brown.
• Remove scones from oven to wire rack. Let cool about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Adjust the amount of water to get to the desired consistency. I like the glaze to be rather thick. Spread lots of glaze over each scone and dry about 15 minutes before serving.
