Ingredients
-
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
-
½ cup pumpkin puree
-
⅓ cup buttermilk
-
⅓ cup toasted pine nuts
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon milk
-
1 teaspoon white sugar
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Whisk together 1 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Mix butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture. Stir in pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and pine nuts until just combined.
-
Sprinkle a work surface with 2 tablespoons flour. Turn out dough onto the floured work surface. Shape into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the rectangle in thirds, sprinkle with more flour as needed, and flatten to about 1 inch thick. Repeat 2 more times. Cut final rectangle into 6 equally-sized squares. Cut each square into triangles and transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl. Lightly brush the top of each scone with egg wash. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over scones.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook's Note:
Make a simple glaze for these scones by whisking together1 teaspoon milk, 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, and 2 teaspoons maple syrup until smooth. You may need to add some more milk or sugar, depending on how thick you want the glaze.
