These scones have a touch of maple syrup and cocoa powder for extra flavor. You can make these with or without the cocoa powder though if you don’t have it on hand. It’s good both ways and produces a different looking scone each way.
Press the dough ball flat between your hands forming a circle.
Place the flattened circle of dough onto a lined baking sheet and slice the dough like a pizza, into eight slices.
Transfer the scones from baking sheet to a cooling rack immediately.If desired, pipe icing onto cooled scones using a sandwich bag with the corner cut to form a small hole.
