  • Total Time: 33 minutes
  • Yield: 8 scones

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prep Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly mixed.
  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix, as this will toughen the scones.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
  7. Shape and Cut Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle approximately 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, slice the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  8. Bake the Scones: Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For taller, fluffier scones, chill the dough for 10 minutes before shaping and baking.
  • If desired, drizzle the cooled scones with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for added sweetness.
