So, grab your apron, preheat your oven, and let’s dive into the delightful world of pumpkin scones.
Ingredients that Spell Fall Magic
Before we embark on this baking adventure, let’s gather our star ingredients: 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spices, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/3 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 egg. These carefully chosen elements will combine to create scones that are tender, aromatic, and full of autumn charm.
A Simple Recipe for Fall’s Favorite Treat
Creating these pumpkin scones is a breeze. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg. Then, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, shape it into a circle, and cut it into wedges. Place the scones on your prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Savor the Flavors of Fall
The aroma that fills your kitchen as these scones bake is nothing short of magical. Once they’re out of the oven and cooled slightly, you can enjoy them with a cup of hot tea or coffee, or even a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. The blend of pumpkin, warm spices, and brown sugar in these scones is the epitome of fall flavors. So, savor each bite and share the joy of this delightful recipe with your loved ones. Happy baking and even happier indulging in these scrumptious pumpkin scones!
