I made whole wheat scones but with currents and finely diced candied orange peel instead of chocolate chips. I divided the dough into 12 balls and dropped them on a parchment covered baking sheet, then flatten the balls slightly and cut them into fourths. The dough was very sticky and soft as I had used 2/3 cup liquid. However after freezing the dough was easier to handle and I was able to seperate the wedges. I baked them at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes until brown on the bottom. Tasty. I glazed them following the directions and then found the scones slightly too sweet. The glaze is very pretty especially after it has hardened. I'm not sure that its worth while glazing them to preserve freshness. Mine aren't anywhere near as pretty as the ones on the web. Do you have a recipe for honey glaze or maple syrup glaze?
No specific recipe, but try mixing confectioners' sugar with hnoey or maple syrup instead of milk or water - should work just fine. PJH
