Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and egg.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the finely chopped crystallized ginger.

Step 7

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

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

Step 10

While the scones cool, prepare the glaze by stirring together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones and allow it to set before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your Pumpkin Ginger Scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
