Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large egg
½ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, 7 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat egg using a whisk in a bowl. Add pumpkin, sour cream, and ginger; beat until well blended. Stir pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture until a soft dough has formed.
  • Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead gently 10 times. Roll or gently pat into a 9x6-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 6 squares. Cut each square in 1/2 diagonally, making 12 triangles.
  • Place the dough triangles 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter and brush over scones. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.

These scones were the perfect addition to my fall breakfast spread. They were flavorful, moist, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making them again.

These scones were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were a delightful fall treat! The pumpkin flavor was perfectly balanced with the spices, and the scones were moist and fluffy. I added a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter, and they turned out perfectly. I'll definitely be ma
