Pumpkin scones are a delightful treat that combines the comforting flavors of pumpkin and ginger. They're perfect for a cozy breakfast or a festive holiday snack. This recipe is simple to follow and uses wholesome ingredients that create a tender and delicious scone.

Ingredients:

2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour

310g

1/4 cup sugar

50g

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

110g

1 cup pumpkin

120g

1/3 cup ginger root

50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Cut in Butter: Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be well incorporated, but there should still be small, pea-sized lumps.

4. Add Pumpkin and Ginger: Next, add the pumpkin puree and finely grated ginger root to the bowl. Gently mix until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and hold together when pressed.

5. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a disk about 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 wedges, like a pie. You can also use a round or square biscuit cutter if you prefer a different shape.

6. Bake: Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is cold before adding it to the flour mixture; this helps create a flakier scone.

- Do not overmix the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the scones tender.

- You can add additional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor.

- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches the right consistency.

- Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour for a better texture.

- For a sweeter scone, consider adding a glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk.

With a few simple steps and ingredients, you can create a batch of warm, flavorful pumpkin scones that will impress your friends and family. These scones are perfect for enjoying with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy the comforting and festive flavors of pumpkin and ginger in every bite!
