Description
Delicious chai-spiced scones topped with a sweet maple chai glaze, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chai spice mix
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- Additional toppings: chopped pecans, dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chai spice.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, and shape it into a rough rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut into triangles and chill for 10 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Glaze the scones while they are slightly warm.
Notes
Ensure the butter is very cold for the best texture. Scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For a crisp edge, reheat in a toaster oven.
