Description

Moist, soft pumpkin spice scones are a subtly sweet treat to enjoy for breakfast on a cold fall morning, or alongside an afternoon cup of tea. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 stick (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves together in a large bowl until combined.
  3. Grate the butter with the coarse side of a box grater. Scatter the grates over the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or two butter knives until you get a sandy texture that resembles cornmeal.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, heavy cream, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until the ingredients are blended together completely.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and stir well until you get a soft dough. It will still be quite crumbly.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured piece of parchment paper and knead it well with floured hands until it comes together.
  7. Use your hands to shape it into a circle about 2 inches thick, and then slice it into 8 even triangles.
  8. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough triangles onto a baking sheet. Reposition the wedges so that there is about 1 inch of space in between each one.
  9. Transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack in the oven. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean.
  10. Transfer the scones onto a cooling rack. Let the scones cool for 5 minutes before serving.
