Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a greased cookie sheet.
2
In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, brown sugar, milk, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3
Transfer the dough onto a surface dusted with a light layer of Bisquick. Roll the dough in the Bisquick to coat, then shape it into a ball.
4
Knead the dough gently about 10 times to bring it together. Flatten the dough into an 8-inch circle on the prepared cookie sheet.
5
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges but refrain from separating them at this stage.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until the scones turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them; if the insides remain gooey, they may need a bit longer (around 13 minutes is typically needed).
7
Once baked, carefully separate the scones into wedges.

For the maple glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones and serve immediately to enjoy their delightful texture and flavor.
