Scones with Pumpkin by Val

Ingredients 0/15

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a big bowl, mix together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Then, stir in the raisins.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin, egg, and buttermilk until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir everything together until you have a soft dough.

Step 3

Lightly flour your work surface and pat the dough into a circle about three-quarters of an inch thick. Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out 14 scones, then place them on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg white to give them a nice shine.

Step 4

Pop the scones into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let them cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
