1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cake flour, plus additional if necessary
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cool unsalted butter, cut into chunks
½ cup finely chopped toasted walnut pieces
1 large egg, at room temperature
½ cup yogurt
¼ cup maple syrup, plus

Position oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat oven to 375F; line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2
In a bowl, mix both flours, baking powder, and salt together.
3
Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, pressing the flour and butter together through the tines until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
4
Stir in the walnut pieces, whole egg, yogurt, and 1/4 cup maple syrup; stir just until a batter comes together into a moist dough.
5
Lightly dust a clean, dry work surface with flour; turn out the dough onto it.
6
Knead a few times, just until the dough begins to hold its shape.
7
If it is sticky, add a touch more cake flour, just to keep it moist but stable.
8
Gently press-do not rollinto a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
9
Slice the circle into 8 wedges, like a pie.
10
Transfer these to the prepared baking sheet.
11
Whisk the egg yolk, remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl.
12
Brush the mixture over the scones.
13
Bake about 20 minutes, until brown and firm.
14
Cool on a baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least 10 minutes before serving.
