A crisp fall day of watching BBC with a friend calls for a cup of maple cream tea and a batch of pumpkin scones. I have a freezer full of pumpkin butter, so I made up a recipe for these little gems. Just the perfect thing for the Call the Midwife Christmas special!
2 cups flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup pumpkin butter (I used this orange bourbon recipe. But you could use this one or this maple one or any of your favorites.)
1 egg
Preheat oven to 400.
Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk together pumpkin butter and egg. Add to flour mixture. Stir well to combine.
Knead a few times on a floured surface.
Place on greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press into a circle about 1/2” thick. Cut into 8 wedges. Separate them slightly from one another.
Bake for 15-17 minutes.
Let cool on rack.
Make a orange spice glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Add orange juice until it becomes a good consistency for drizzling over the top of the cooled scones.
Drizzle over the scones when they are warm but no longer hot. Eat right away or wait until the scones have gotten to room temp and glaze has set.
