Recipe View 10 mins Let the scones cool slightly before drizzling generously with the brown butter glaze. (10 minutes)

For best results, use very cold butter and don't overmix the dough.
To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
The brown butter glaze is best used immediately after making it. If it thickens too much, add a tiny splash of milk and whisk.
Feel free to add other spices like nutmeg or allspice to the scone dough for a richer flavor.

    These scones are amazing! The brown butter glaze is the perfect touch.

  • Elenor Waelchi

    I've made these several times, and they always come out perfect.

  • Kasandra Rippin

    A little too sweet for my taste, I would reduce the sugar in the glaze.

  • Loraine Beatty

    The pecans add a lovely crunch. I might try walnuts next time!
