A Derbyshire bakery with over 100 years of family heritage is kicking off a new monthly tradition with the launch of its Maple & Walnut Scone.
Stacey’s Bakery, which has shops in Ilkeston, Heanor and Eastwood, has created a sweet, spiced winter treat that has been quietly in the development stages for several months.
The bakery team has combined walnuts, sultanas, and warming winter spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, before finishing the scone with a glossy maple glaze.
Priced at just 85p, the new flavour is the first to be unveiled as part of Stacey’s Bakery’s new ‘Scone of the Month’ initiative.
David Stacey, managing director of the family-run bakery, said: “We’ve been working on this recipe for quite a while. Getting the balance right between the spices, the sweetness of the maple and the crunch of the walnuts took time. We wanted it to be perfect before putting it on the shelves.
“Over the past couple of weeks, the feedback has been fantastic. It’s also led to some fabulous reaction on social media.”
He added: “Winter is when people really want those homely, cosy flavours. This scone tastes just like the season. It’s the kind of treat you want with a hot cuppa after coming in from the cold.”
The new range reflects the bakery’s long-standing commitment to taking traditional products and giving them a fresh twist.
David continued: “We may be introducing new flavours, but the way we make our scones hasn’t changed for generations. Everything is mixed by hand, baked fresh every day, and made with the same care that has kept customers coming back for decades.”
Stacey’s Bakery bakes around 140,000 scones a year with some organisations ordering hundreds each week. Store customers have made the sultana scone the firm’s top selling flavour, closely followed by the cherry scone.
The Maple & Walnut Scone is now available across Stacey’s Bakery shops and marks the launch of the ongoing ‘Scone of the Month’ campaign. With December on the horizon, the bakery hints that the next flavour could be even more festive.
“All I can say is keep your eyes peeled,” David said with a smile. “Our Christmas scone is something special.”
