These Buckwheat Scones are hearty and the maple glaze pairs perfectly with the nutty buckwheat flavor. Best part is they are made in one bowl with pantry staples in under one hour!

  3. Add the butter and use a pastry blender to cut in the cutter until pea-sized lumps form. buckwheat scone dough with wet ingredients worked in
  4. Add the milk, sour cream and beaten egg. Stir gently with a fork until a dough begins to form. There will still be some dry flour mixture that isn’t worked in and that’s fine. 
  5. Empty the dough onto a work surface thats been sprinkled liberally with flour. Try to put most of the dry flour mixture on top of the dough mound so you can work it in easier. hand pressing dry scone flour into dough
  6. Press the dough down with *floured* hands and start kneading the dough by folding the dough and pressing down and repeating this process until a fairly smooth dough forms. You don’t want to over work it so try to keep it at about 10-12 kneads. 
  7. Shape the dough into a 1/2 inch disc, then cut into 8 slices. scone disc cut into 8 slices
  8. Arrange the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baking for about 15 minutes, until just beginning to get some golden spots on top and the bottom. buckwheat scones arranged on baking sheet lined with parchment
  9. Immediately transfer the scones to a wire cooling rack once removed from the oven. 
  10. Allow them to cool fully before icing. 
  11. Make the icing: combine powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. A mini whisk works great for this!
  12. You can drizzle the icing over the scones, slather it or even dip them. Enjoy! maple glaze being drizzled onto a buckwheat scone
