the butter and rub it in with the tips of your fingers until the Lehigh Valley
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Mix in the pecans.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with maple syrup and 1
tablespoon of milk. Stir into the flour mixture with a round-
bladed knife to make a soft, coarse-looking dough. If the dough
is dry and crumbly and won’t stick together, stir in more milk,
1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is very wet and sticky, work
in another tablespoon of flour.
Tip out the dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with
flour and gently work it with your hands for a few seconds so it
looks smoother. Put the dough ball onto the prepared baking
sheet. Dip your fingers in flour and pat out the dough to a
round about 1 1/4 inches thick and 7 inches across. Using a
knife, cut the round into 6 wedges, but do not separate the
dough before baking.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until light golden brown. Transfer
to a wire rack and leave until the wedges are cool enough to
separate. Serve warm the same day. The cooled scones can be
wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 month.
