Pumpkin Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Whisk together all dry ingredients (first eleven ingredients listed) into a large bowl and add diced butter.
In another bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (following six ingredients listed).
Form dry mixture into a well and pour wet mixture into the well. Begin with stirring to mix together, then turn to kneading by hand to fully incorporate both wet and dry mixtures.
Dust a work surface with flour then place dough onto surface. Shape dough into an even 8-oz. round. With a large (floured) knife, slice dough into eight equal wedges.
Move scones onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with 1 Tbsp half-and-half.
Bake in preheated oven for 13 – 15 minutes — until tops are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Move scones onto wired rack and cool for exactly 10 minutes before adding glazes.
