Ginger Pumpkin Scones Recipe
Continuing with my research on unearthing the best scones recipes, I found one for pumpkin scones! How seasonally appropriate.
These were very good. All of us enjoyed these and ate them up rather quickly.
I did substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon because I can’t seem to remember that I’ve been out of cinnamon for a month now! We go through that rather fast. Enjoy!
Soft Ginger Pumpkin Scones Recipe
From Taste of Home.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Flour
- 7 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Sugar, Divided
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 5 tablespoons Cold Butter, divided
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup Canned Pumpkin
- 1/4 Cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients, using 7 Tablespoons of Sugar.
- Cut in 4 Tablespoons Cold Butter until mixture has mostly small lumps but hasn't been crumbled entirely into pea sized lumps.
- Combine Egg, Pumpkin, and Sour Cream in separate bowl.
- Stir into Dry Ingredients just until moistened.
- Knead 10 times on floured surface (I sometimes just knead it in the bowl).
- Shape into 8" circle--I managed to shape this recipe into two circles for double the wedges, and the wedges were still enormous.
- Cut into wedges. Separate wedges and place on greased cookie sheet.
- Melt remaining Butter and brush tops of scones.
- Sprinkle with remaining Sugar (coarse sugar would be great here!).
- Bake 425* for 15 - 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
Notes
I subbed in Pumpkin Pie Spice for the Cinnamon.
