“I made these lovely scones one day when looking for a way to use up leftover pumpkin, and I was not disappointed,” recalls Brenda Jackson of Garden City, Kansas. TIP: Brenda often uses her food processor to stir up the dough just until it comes together. “It so simple to prepare this way,” she assures.
Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons cold butter, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 7 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger and baking soda. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg, pumpkin and sour cream; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place on a greased baking sheet. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
3. Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 8 scones.
