Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and egg until well blended. Pour this into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Shape Your Scones: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently to bring it together. Pat it into a circle about an inch thick and cut into wedges or shapes using a biscuit cutter.
- Bake: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
