Cook time: 18 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.

7. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.

8. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.

9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
