Maple Oatmeal Scones

Taken from The Way the Cookie Crumbles

Scones
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 maple syrup
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Glaze
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the dry ingredients. Add in the cold butter at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk, syrup and eggs and add quickly to the flour mixture. Mix until just blended.
2. Place the dough onto a well floured surface. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough until 1" thick. Cut into 3" rounds and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are crisp.
4. Combine confectioners sugar, syrup and vanilla to make glaze. Cool the scones for 5 minutes and then drizzle each scone with 1 Tbsp glaze
