Pumpkin Scones Recipe
"Pumpkin Recipes Online"
4 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
5 t. baking powder
1 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1 t. salt
1/2 C. light brown sugar
1/2 C. unsalted butter, softened
2 C. canned pumpkin puree
1 1/3 C. milk
2 C. chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven to 375� F. Grease two baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter until it
resembles coarse meal. Add the pumpkin, milk and nuts and stir until well mixed.
Using a 1/2 cup measure, scoop the batter into small rounds on the baking
sheets. Leave a space of about 2 inches between each scone. When both pans are
used, put the remaining batter in the refrigerator until the first batch is
finished baking.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Remove to a cooling
rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
Note: If a holiday brunch is on the calendar, make the batter in advance and
place scoopfuls onto baking sheets. Freeze for two hours or more, then wrap the
individual scoops in plastic wrap and freeze up to a month until ready to bake.
Yield: Makes about 30 scones
