Next, we need to make the maple glaze for these Gluten Free Bacon Scones.

Mix the powdered sugar and maple syrup.

What type of maple syrup is best for this maple bacon scone recipe?

I prefer to use Grade B maple syrup in my recipes. It is more nutrient-dense and flavorful than Grade A maple syrup. If you can’t find Grade B maple syrup, it can be tough, please do use Grade A maple syrup in this recipe.

Mix the glaze. (Mix carefully so the powdered sugar doesn’t go flying!)

Dip the scones into the maple syrup to coat each scone. Remove from the glaze and allow to dry on a cooling rack. Optional, top with a pecan half.
