Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup jelly (any flavor, for serving)

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, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar. Whisk until evenly blended.

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 vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until a dough begins to form. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Cut the disk into 8 wedges (like a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve the pumpkin scones warm or at room temperature with a dollop of your favorite jelly on the side or spread on top.
