Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (for brushing the tops)
- Granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If you’re using nuts, fold them in gently.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into wedges or use a round cutter to form scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle a little sugar on top for a lovely finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these delicious pumpkin scones warm from the oven, perhaps with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey. They are perfect enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. Happy baking!
