Some Scones to go with Your Tea (or coffee if you're like me)

Maple Walnut Scones

Maple flavor and toasted walnuts, close you're eyes, inhale and you'll be taken away to the wonderful aroma of a bakery.  When most people think of scones, you think of a dense biscuit that needs a little help from your drink; not these scones.  The maple flavoring is so delicious and the addition of cold butter helps to keep them moist when it melts in the oven.  The glaze helps to add a little extra sweetness.  I substituted real maple syrup because I didn't have maple extract and it worked just fine.  I actually made two batches, one with nuts and one nutless one.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
