Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
⅓ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
½ cup pure pumpkin puree
⅓ cup buttermilk, or more as needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon coarse sugar, or as needed
½ cup powdered sugar, or as needed
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon molasses
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and pecans.
  • Whisk pumpkin, buttermilk, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Stir into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, mixing just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead gently, 4 to 5 times; dough will be sticky. Pat into a circle that is about 7 inches across, and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut in half, then cut each half into 4 triangular pie-shaped wedges. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl. Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash. Sprinkle tops heavily with coarse sugar.
  • Bake on the middle or top rack of the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a scone comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Slide scones, still on parchment paper, onto a counter or wire rack to cool.
  • While cooling, combine powdered sugar, milk, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon for the icing in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until it boils, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool partially, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle over scones; allow icing to harden before serving.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, brunch, dessert, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup pumpkin purée, well drained, canned or made from 1/2 pound fresh
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped candied ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Sift together the flours, salt, ginger, baking powder and baking soda. Place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
  • Add the butter to the food processor, and pulse several times until it is distributed throughout the flour. The mixture should have the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
  • Beat together the pumpkin purée, buttermilk and maple syrup in a small bowl, and scrape into the food processor. Add the ginger, and process just until the dough comes together.
  • Scrape onto a lightly floured surface, and gently shape into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into six squares, then cut the squares in half on the diagonal to form 12 triangular pieces. Place on the baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with any baking recipe, having all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start mixing will make the process much smoother.
  • Fresh Ginger: Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate it finely just before using.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use unsweetened pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • Kneading the Dough: The dough for these scones should be sticky, but not too wet. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones to rise properly and give them a more tender texture.
  • Baking the Scones: Bake the scones in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serving the Scones: Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, cream cheese, or pumpkin butter.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin ginger scones are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The scones are moist and flavorful, with a hint of ginger and pumpkin spice. They are also very versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings.
