BED AND BREAKFAST SPICED PUMPKIN SCONES WITH HONEY BUTTER
Gorgeous spiced pumpkin scones with honey butter - what a treat for the tea-time table during autumn and winter. I have made these twice now and love the combination of the honey butter with the scones, although they are also delicious with plain unsalted butter. This recipe came from an Australian "Olive" magazine that was sent to me, apparently, Queensland is famous for its blue pumpkins where this recipe originates from - I added the spices as well as the honey butter! A wonderful recipe for the cooler months, but as it uses tinned or frozen pumpkin, these can be made all year around. If you don't want to serve these with the honey butter, just split them whilst warm and spread with normal butter or cream. Mixed spice is a British spice mixture, I have a recipe for this on RZ: Recipe #266688

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Lightly grease a baking tray.
- Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in egg, pumpkin puree and 4 tablespoons milk until smooth. Add the mixed spice to the pumpkin mixture, taste and adjust the spices to taste. Stir in flour until a dough forms, then knead a few times on a well floured surface until the dough holds together. Add more flour if dough is too wet or sticky.
- Press the dough into a flat circle 1 to 1.5cm thick. Cut into 6 wedges, place onto greased baking tray, and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Once done, wrap scones with a clean tea towel and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving with the honey butter.
- Honey Butter: Mix the butter and honey together, adding the honey a spoon at a time until the right consistency is achieved. Mix well. Best served fresh with the pumpkin scones.
SPICED PUMPKIN & PECAN SCONES WITH CINNAMON CHIPS
Delicous and different scones with pumpkin, pecans, and cinnamon chips; this recipe was inspired by chef #242729's recipe #397407, which I added oatmeal, spelt flour, maple syrup or maple extract, pecans, and cinnamon chips to, and also added a spiced sugar sprinkle on top. recipe #397407 has a wonderful recipe in it for honey butter; I highly recommend it if you like butter on your scones! You can use canned, frozen, or fresh pumpkin puree in these scones.

SPICED PUMPKIN SCONES

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the scones a more intense pumpkin flavor and a moist texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones to rise more evenly and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
These spiced pumpkin scones are the perfect fall treat. They are moist, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pumpkin scones that your family and friends will love. Enjoy!
