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.

These scones are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I still really enjoyed these scones. The pumpkin flavor is dominant and the ginger is just a subtle hint in the background.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always have some on hand in the fall and these scones are a perfect way to use it up.
