Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 7 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Cut in 4 tablespoons of cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Add pumpkin puree, sour cream, and ginger; whisk until well combined. (3 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy. (2 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8-10 times. (2 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Roll or pat the dough into a 9x6-inch rectangle, about 1 inch thick. (2 minutes)

08

Step
3 mins

Cut the rectangle into 6 equal squares, then cut each square diagonally to form 12 triangles. (3 minutes)

09

Step
2 mins

Place the scones on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. (2 minutes)

10

Step
2 mins

Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and brush the tops of the scones. (2 minutes)

11

Step
1 mins

Sprinkle the scones with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. (1 minute)

12

Step
12 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (12 minutes)

13

Step
5 mins

Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. (5 minutes)

For best results, use cold butter to create flaky scones.
Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tough scones.
Feel free to add a glaze made with powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness.
These scones are delicious with a cup of coffee or tea.
Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
