Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
-
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Fold in the chopped pecans and cinnamon chips.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
-
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the scones with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little sugar.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
