1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Add the cold butter pieces.
4. Chop the butter together with the flour using a pastry cutter.
5. Work the butter into the flour until most of the flour is combined with the butter into small pea-sized shapes. Set aside.
6. In a medium bowl, add the cream, brown sugar, egg, maple extract and vanilla.
7. Whisk until combined.
8. Add the wet mixture to dry mixture and stir together with a wooden spoon until just combined. Might still be crumbly.
9. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and work the dough with your hands until it sticks together.
10. Press the dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/2-inch thick.
11. With a pizza cutter or a bench scraper, make 8 even triangle pieces.
12. Place the pieces on the baking sheet spaced evenly apart.
13. Brush with a thin layer of heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.
14. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the maple glaze.
15. Bake for 16-18 minutes, rotating halfway through, until tops of scones are golden brown.
16. Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire rack before adding glaze.
17. In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar, maple syrup and maple extract.
18. Whisk until combined. Glaze will be thick. If it’s too thick you can add a little bit of corn syrup until desired consistency is reached.
19. Using a spoon, top the cooled scones with the glaze letting it drip down the sides a little.
20. Top with pecans and sprinkle cinnamon while glaze is still wet. Let scones sit for about an hour to harden.
