PUMPKIN-CRANBERRY SCONES WITH WHIPPED MAPLE BUTTER
Steps:
- For the scones: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry along with the cranberries and candied ginger. Mix until it is all just combined (do not over-mix or the scones will be tough).
- Transfer to a lightly-floured surface and knead the dough gently 4 or 5 times. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 8 inches round and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the circle in half, and then cut each half into 4 pie-shaped wedges (triangles). Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the heavy cream.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a baking rack for 15 minutes before serving.
- For the butter: Meanwhile, combine the cream, maple syrup and sea salt in the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on low speed at first, then once the mixture begins to thicken, increase the speed and whip until light and fluffy and has turned into butter. Don't over-mix the butter or it will break.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet pumpkin in these scones. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them 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 will help the scones hold their shape and rise evenly in the oven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with whipped maple butter. The whipped maple butter is the perfect complement to the sweet and tart scones.
