Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- lightly packed
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 stick
- frozen
- ½ cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt.
- Grate the frozen butter into the dry mixture and use a fork or pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to make rounds.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with additional cream.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
