Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter and blend it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the sourdough discard, maple syrup, milk, and chopped pecans until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together.
  6. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter.
  7. Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush the tops with an egg wash if desired.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before serving and enjoy warm.

Notes

Chill your ingredients for best results and avoid overmixing to keep scones fluffy.
