Ingredients - Scones:
2 cups Flour
1/3 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 Tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp. Salt
8 Tbsp. cold, Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces (I cut them into single tablespoons as marked on the wrapper)
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree'
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Ingredients - Glaze
2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
1 cup Powdered Sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (I didn't have parchment paper so I just layered a cookie sheet over another to prevent them from browning to quickly on the bottom - it worked)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the butter and stir with a fork to combine. Using the fork or a pastry blender, blend the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs (the largest pieces of butter should be no larger than the size of a pea). Add in the chocolate chips and mix to combine.
In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla; mix well. Add into the dry ingredients and stir together gently just until the dough comes together. **I found the dough to be quite sticky, so I kneaded it for a bit on a floured surface just to help it come together more. Be careful, though, to not overwork the dough if you do this**
I also found the dough to be very sticky, I just kneaded and blended within the bowl until all dry ingredients were mixed in.
Move the dough to the prepared baking sheet and pat it out into a 9-inch round (about 1"-1,." thick). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 22-25 minutes). Allow it to cool and slice it into wedges.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the butter and maple syrup over medium heat until combined. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Allow it to cool just enough to transfer to a pastry bag (or Ziploc bag with the tip slightly cut off) and drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones. (This made a lot more glaze than I needed. After drizzling, I double bagged the pastry bag, sealed, and saved in the fridge. I'm going to see if I can reheat the glaze tonight to reuse -- I'll edit if it actually works!)
what a fun recipe! i am bookmakring it for my pumpkin party!

ReplyDeleteAwesome recipe! My favorite local bakery does a pumpkin chocolate chip scone every fall. I can't stay away and end up spending quite a lot of money there while they have them! I will definitely be trying this recipe. Maybe I'll save some money by making my own :)

This sounds RIDICULOUSLY good. I am a huge fan of scones -- are these the more "dry" type, or are they moist? If that makes any sense, haha!
ReplyDeleteAppGal - I was able to cut 9 or 10 triangle slices and only had to pick up some buttermilk, pumpkin, and maple syrup (for the glaze) to make them, had everything else. So being that I can make a few more batches with the ingredients I bought, it's def a money saver :)
ReplyDeleteErika - i'll eat anything with chocolate chips. fact. haha
Amy - they are more on the moist side, which is why I noted to make sure they cool before you eat. I think I was expecting them to be drier and more crumbly like a biscotti, but the were definitely soft scone like the next morning. I'm glad I didn't "dry" them as I would with a biscotti cookie....
OMG, these look so delicious. I love scones, LOVE SCONES!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe. Now, if I can only get husband to make these for me. Yes, sad, I cannot cook, that's why I married my husband, his cooking skills.
