1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
3 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 cup pecan halves
1/3 cup cold heavy cream
1 cold egg
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

Method

Heat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix cream, maple syrup and egg in bowl and then place this mixture into butter mixture, mixing on low speed for 20 sec.
With a scooper, drop scoops of this dough into the baking sheet. You want to have eight scones no more than two inches apart. Bake this for 30 min.
Now cool it for another 30 min.

After the 30 min, bring the cones back to the sheet, and drizzle the glaze over them with a spoon.
