The Most Amazing Maple Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or regular AP flour)
4 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or 1/2 teaspoon regular salt)
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil (refined is best, unrefined will work too)
1/4 cup soy milk (or any other non-dairy milk)
1/4 cup real maple syrup

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the coconut oil to the dry ingredients and cut it in with a pastry blender so the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using a fork to mix, add the milk and maple syrup to the flour mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined and doughy, but DO NOT OVER MIX.
Put the dough out onto a floured surface and press it down into a perfect circle about 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 perfect triangles.
Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes.
OPTIONAL TOPPING: I like to make a small amount of glaze with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and water. I drizzle it on and top them with some chopped walnuts for crunch.
