Pumpkin Spice Scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 13 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 34 teaspoon cinnamon
- 14 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 12 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 38 cup cold unsalted butter, shredded
- 1 large egg
- 13 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 13 cup heavy cream, plus
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
- Preheat the oven to 425?F.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Blend together the egg, pumpkin puree and 1/3 cup of the cream in a small bowl, add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Transfer to a work surface and knead a few times until the dough just holds together.
- Pat the dough into a 6-inch wide, 1 1/2-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.
- (Chef's Note: Work quickly and with a light touch to prevent the butter in the pastry from melting.)
- Arrange the scones a couple of inches apart on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Lightly brush the scones with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream and sprinkle with the Turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Scones keep for a day or two in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.
