Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree and heavy cream. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the scones cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
