Yield: 12 scones

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  4. ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  6. ½ teaspoon salt
  7. ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  8. ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  9. ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  10. 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
  11. ½ cup pumpkin puree
  12. ¼ cup light sour cream
  13. ¼ cup white sugar
  14. 1 egg
  15. ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  16. 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  17. ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Whisk pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, allspice, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and baking soda together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small crumbs.
  3. Mix 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, sour cream, white sugar, and egg together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until dough forms. Gently roll dough into a circle on a floured work surface and cut into wedges or use fall-inspired cookie cutters. Arrange scones on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  5. Mix confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl until glaze is smooth; spread over warm scones.

This is not a very sweet scone but the pumpkin spice flavor is good. It will be a good, healthier substitute for the calorie and fat laden pumpkin scones from the coffee house. Bonus – the kitchen smells amazing!
