Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until well combined.
-
Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well.
-
Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together with a fork until a rough dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, slice the circle into 8 wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
-
Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
