Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir these together until evenly mixed to ensure consistent fluffiness in your scones.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout, essential for flaky scones.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to bring sweetness, moisture, and depth of flavor to the dough.
  4. Combine and Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep scones tender; the dough should be soft but sticky.
  5. Shape the Scones: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick round disk. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
  6. Bake: Place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle additional maple syrup on top for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers and a tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • Use fresh baking powder for proper rise and fluffiness.
  • Watch baking time carefully—slightly underbaking keeps scones moist but they should still be golden brown.
  • Drizzle warm maple syrup over scones immediately after baking for enhanced flavor and presentation.
