Pumpkin Scones
Description
Adapted from a recipe I found in the newspaper a couple years ago.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup fresh pumpkin (if canned, be sure there are no spices or sugar added)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Methods/steps
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Mix together flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and cut into flour. Mixture should look like coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl mix together the pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla. Add to flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together (don't overmix).
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times, and then pat dough into a circle about 1 1/2 inches thick. Slice in half, and then cut each half into 3 equal pie-shaped wedges. Brush with egg glaze (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk), and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.
- Bake on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 6 scones.
