Maple Scones

Maple is the star of the show with these scones. They provide light nice airy texture and flavor to pair with your coffee at breakfast! Made using our plain pancake mix, maple sugar, and maple syrup these scones are sure to brighten your morning!

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Plain Pancake Mix

2 TBSP of Maple Sugar

1 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 stick of chilled butter

1/3 cup of maple syrup

1 large egg

3-4 TBSP of milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl whisk together your pancake mix, maple sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, or hands cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles fine crumbs.

Stir in the egg and maple syrup- once combined, add your milk. If it seems dry add a little more, it should be just enough to come away from the edges of the bowl.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work area and shape into an 8 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Space out your wedges just a little (about a 1/2 inch between them). You also can brush the scones with milk and sprinkle some maple sugar on top, just be careful when they are in the oven to make sure the sugar doesn’t burn. (sugar burns at about 350 degrees F)

Bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Separate them gently and serve warm!

Breakfast Margarita

The breakfast margarita is a maple twist on a classic! Try making these for your next brunch instead of mimosas!

The breakfast margarita is available all the time here at Polly’s Pancake Parlor. It is a nice departure from the classic brunch drink mimosa- but it is good anytime of day! It is also another cocktail that uses maple syrup and maple sugar to bring a subtle and nice sweetness to the drink.

Ingredients:

2 oz Tequila

1/2 oz Triple Sec

3 oz Orange Juice

1/2 oz Maple Syrup

1/2 oz Lime Juice

Maple Sugar (for garnish)

Slice of Orange (for garnish)

To make this cocktail add ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour in tequila, triple sec, orange juice, and maple syrup, cover and shake. Cut a slice of orange and use it to moisten the rim of the glass, pour some maple sugar onto a plate and rim the glass with it.

Pour the contents of the shaker through a strainer and into the rimmed glass.
