| Baking powder | 2 Teaspoon | |
| Salt | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Unsalted butter | 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) (stick cut into cubes) | |
| Buttermilk | 3/4 Cup (12 tbs) | |

Directions
Getting Ready
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the maple glaze
Whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk.
For the scones
Whisk to combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter cubes and work them into the flour, breaking them down into small pieces with your fingertips and coating them in the flour mixture. When no large butter pieces remain, add the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir around until the dough is moist and cohesive.
Shape the dough into a square (or circle, if you desire triangles instead), and cut into 9 even pieces. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until cooked through.
Serving
Let cool completely, then drizzle on the maple glaze and chopped pecans. Serve!
