Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup jelly (any flavor, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar. Whisk until evenly blended.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until a dough begins to form. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Cut the disk into 8 wedges (like a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve the pumpkin scones warm or at room temperature with a dollop of your favorite jelly on the side or spread on top.
