Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Cranberries, dried
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.333 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the dried cranberries evenly throughout the dough mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times to bring the dough together. Pat it into an 8-inch round disk about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges (like slicing a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cranberry Pumpkin Scones with a cup of coffee or tea!
