Maple Bacon Scones

  All the best fall flavours in the sweet, salty and satisfyingly savoury maple bacon scone. Add squash or pumpkin to the dough and top with maple syrup glaze! Yum!


These scone are seriously the best! I love fall flavours and using squash or pumpkin in the dough gives a nice orange colour and goes great with the maple syrup and bacon pieces. They are sweet, a little salty and oh so savoury! Top these bad boys off with a quick maple syrup glaze, and prepare to wow!

This recipe makes 8 big beautiful scones and start to finish took me under 2 hours. The dough chills in the freezer an hour, before cooking in the oven for 20 minutes. Make your scones then while they cool whip up your icing, it takes no time. Then drizzle and let set for 10 minutes before plating and serving!


  • 3 cups pastry flour (or half pastry flour and half all purpose)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1 Tbs baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cut into small cubes
  • 3 strips of already cooked and cooled bacon cut into bit size pieces
  • 1 tsp maple syrup   
  • 1 cup already cooked and purred butternut squash or pumpkin
  • 2 large eggs
  1. In large bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and spices. 
  2. Add butter with hands, pressing most of the pieces into what will look like a crumb mixture
  3. Stir in the bacon
  4. In a separate bowl whisk the squash, maple syrup and eggs until smooth
  5. Stir the liquid mixture to the flour mixture until your able to mix with your hands using a kneading motion
  6. Transfer dough to floured surface keeping the circular shape of mixing bowl
  7. Flatten and round sides with hands
  8. Use knife to cut dough across 4 times like a pizza. Will end up with 8 triangles
  9. Place those triangles on parchment lined baking sheet and stick the whole thing in the freezer for an hour
  10. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F while dough chills
  11. Place baking sheet with scones in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean *Here you have the option to sprinkle tops of scones with white sugar crystals. 


Maple syrup glaze: 
  • 2 tbs maple syrup 
  • 2 tbs butter
  • 2 tbs milk
  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • 1 tbs vanilla 
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (add more or less depending on desired consistency) 
  1. Combine maple syrup, butter, milk and brown sugar in a microwave safe bowl. 
  2. Microwave for 40 seconds and stir 
  3. Microwave for another minute and when done should be bubbling
  4. Add vanilla and whisk
