Jumbo Maple-Pecan Scone

2 ¼ cups flour
¼ cup sugar
1 Tbls baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp orange zest
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 ½ sticks butter cut into small pieces
¾ cup buttermilk (plus a bit for brushing)
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup chopped pecans

Glaze:

¼ cup confectionary sugar
3 Tbls maple syrup
Pinch of salt

Combine buttermilk & vanilla and set aside. Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut butter into dry mixture until is like fine meal. Mix in pecans, add buttermilk until mixture is just moistened. Knead mixture gently several times until it forms a ball.

Place on a greased and floured baking sheet, and pat into an 8" round circle about 3/4" thick, and brush with excess buttermilk. Bake in preheated 375 oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 2 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool fully.

Drizzle glaze over cooled scone, cut into wedges.

Tuck Inn's recipes! Tasty treats!!

As part of our new website, we redesigned our recipes page at the Inn and included the recipes for each and every one of our baked goods that we serve our guests. The page is fairly extensive as we serve about 75 different baked goods at the Inn. Along with pictures of each item, you'll discover a few different features on this page as well. You'll be able to print a blown up picture of each recipe, and we've even set it up so you can e-mail any recipe to your friends or family as well!

The file includes about half a dozen gluten-free recipes as well and I've been able to adapt several of my other recipes for gluten-free flour. We will continue to expand on our gluten-free section along with a lactose-free group, and should eventually have a small sub-file of them as two of our grandchildren have gluten sensitivities.

So we invite you to page through these files and then roll up your sleeves and break out the spatula! Of course, if you don't want to bake yourselves, you can always come visit us here at The Tuck Inn for the treat...and no dishes to clean!! Happy Baking!!
