Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

- Be gentle when mixing to avoid tough scones.
- Consider chilling the dough before baking for better texture.
- Let scones cool on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
