SPICED PUMPKIN SCONES image

Number Of Ingredients 17

Spiced Pumpkin Scones:
2½ cups (320 g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (50 g) sugar, plus 1 teaspoon to sprinkle on top of the scones
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
⠛ teaspoon each cloves, ginger, cardamom, and allspice
6 tablespoons (80 g) unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1 cup (230 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1-2 tablespoons milk, plus more for brushing on top
Cinnamon Pumpkin Cream:
6 tablespoons (85 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
⠛ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, and allspice in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a fork or using two butter knives until it looks like coarse meal. Stir in the pumpkin puree, and then add milk a little at a time until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disk; wrap it in plastic wrap and chill 10 minutes in the freezer. (See note on chill time.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or press the dough out to a circle about 7 to 8 inches in diameter and ¾ inch thick. Use a floured 2½ inch round cookie cutter to stamp out the scones, then gather up the dough scraps and repeat as necessary (you should get about 8 to 10 scones). Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, lightly brush the tops with a little milk and a sprinkle of sugar, and bake until puffed and light golden brown on top and bottom, about 14 to 16 minutes. While the scones are baking, beat together all ingredients for the Cinnamon Pumpkin Cream; refrigerate until serving. Serve the scones warm with the chilled Cinnamon Pumpkin Cream.

These scones were a little too sweet for my taste, but the texture was perfect.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but these scones were surprisingly good. The spices really balanced out the pumpkin flavor.

These scones were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the pumpkin flavor was barely there.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.
