Instructions
- Mix together the walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup and 4 tablespoons of the butter to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 30 seconds, then scrape into a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan or a 10-inch deep dish pie pan. Set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and toss to mix. Cut 4 tablespoons of the butter into ½ inch pieces, add to the flour, and cut it in until the butter is roughly the size of split peas. Make a well in the mixture and add the milk. Stir gently, just until the mixture forms a damp, cohesive mass. If the dough seems a bit wet, work in a tad more flour with the back of a wooden spoon. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in small saucepan. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, 5 or 6 times. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to the best 9-inch by 12-inch rectangle you can manage; don’t worry if it isn’t perfect. Brush the surface with the melted butter. Cover the dough evenly with the brown sugar mixture, patting it gently with your hands. Starting at the 9-inch edge, roll the dough evenly like a carpet, pinching at the seam to seal. Cut into 9 one-inch-wide slices and lay them, on the flat, in the syrup pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert onto a large plate; do this quickly, but carefully, being aware that the syrup is very hot. Rubber gloves are a good precaution. Scrape any syrup stuff from the pan and spread over the buns. Serve hot or warm. We have many more Maple Recipes featuring maple products.
