Asking this question is such a passion of mine that perhaps it’s my answer (how meta is that?). But also: Great conversation on deep subjects. Meeting and connecting with someone new. Creating something beautiful (many times with food). Dreaming up business ideas or creative partnerships. Sharing food with people I love. Gazing onto the blue ocean in Santorini. Geeking out with a great chef. Oh, and baking cozy-spiced pumpkin scones now that the air has a certain chill…for Alex and me, that makes us feel seriously alive.
How to make pumpkin scones with maple glaze
These pumpkin scones with maple cream came about when a family-run maple syrup business asked us to create another recipe using their maple cream. And what is maple cream? It’s natural and simple: maple syrup that is heated and stirred to produce a pure maple spread. The cream has an intensely concentrated maple taste that is perfect spread on PB toast, apples, and muffins. Maple cream now comes in two flavors: golden, a light, delicate flavor, and dark (our favorite), which is rich and caramel-y. Here, we’ve used them both as a glaze to top pumpkin scone, which are a take on a recipe from our friend Melissa of The Faux Martha. (You may remember her from our podcast on minimalism.) And let me brag on Melissa a bit: the base scone recipe is out of this world! And our adaptation with pumpkin makes for the fluffiest, scone I’ve ever tasted, with the perfect salty-sweet balance. To her recipe we added pumpkin, spices, and the maple cream glaze. The maple cream works perfectly as a glaze, even solidifying a bit after spreading. Or, use this Maple Glaze recipe instead!
