    Directions
    Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl to blend. Stir in oats. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle pecans over the mixture. Stir 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/2 cup maple syrup in small bowl to blend. Gradually add cream mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dough comes together and adding more cream by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough gently until smooth and pecans are distributed throughout the dough, about 10 turns. Using floured hands, pat out dough to 8-inch round; cut dough into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake scones until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack. Meanwhile, whisk remaining 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, 6 tablespoons whipping cream and 2 tablespoons maple syrup in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in enough powdered sugar to form thick glaze. Drizzle or spread glaze over warm scones. Let stand until glaze sets.
