Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions
 

Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces throughout.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until blended.

          Form the Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped pecans. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

            Shape the Scones: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut the rectangle into squares or triangles.

              Bake: Transfer the pieces to the prepared baking dish, placing them slightly apart for even cooking. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

                Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the scones bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency by adding more milk if necessary.

                  Glaze the Scones: Once the scones are baked to perfection, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the warm maple glaze generously over the scones.

                    Serve Warm: Enjoy your warm maple glazed cinnamon scone bake straight from the oven or at room temperature—perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
