Instructions
- Scones
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Combine the brown sugar, pumpkin butter (to make pumpkin butter see below), milk, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl with a whisk.
- Combine both flours, pumpkin spice, baking powder, soda and kosher salt in a large bowl with a whisk. With a pastry blender cut in the chilled, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Fold in pumpkin butter mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands. Don't overwork the dough. Form the dough into an 9-inch circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat baking sheet, to about ¾" thick.
- With a knife, cut dough into 6 to 8 big wedges all the way through, depending on how big you want your scones. Bake until golden, about 16-18 minutes.
- In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Allow scones to slightly cool and top with icing.
- Pumpkin Butter
- In a saucepan add the pumpkin purée, apple juice, sugar and pumpkin spice. Stir and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring often. Pumpkin butter should be thick like applesauce. Allow to cool.
- Store in a sealed, sterile bottle in the refrigerator after it’s cooled.
Notes
- I have included the recipe for the pumpkin butter, but you can purchase at Trader Joes and similar stores.
