Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter (frozen)
• 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 4 tbsp heavy cream (divided)
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 tbsp coarse sugar
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400˚F.

2. 2

   Mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

3. 3

   Grate the frozen butter and stir into the flour mixture with a fork. (Or you cut cold butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.)

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, egg, and vanilla.

5. 5

   Add to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture comes together. Do not over mix.

6. 6

   Turn out onto a floured silicone mat. Knead a couple of times until you can form an 8-inch circle.

7. 7

   Cut into 8 wedges with a floured knife. Separate the wedges and place them on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Brush each scone with the remaining tablespoon of heavy cream. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.

8. 8

   Bake at 400°F for 14 to 16 minutes until the edges start to brown.

9. 9

   Once the scones have cooled, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the scones.
