Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour plus more for dusting surface
  • 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Maple Glaze

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup confectioner sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Slice cold butter (make sure it is cold!) into large cubes.
  • Cute cold butter into dry flour mixture by using a pastry cutter or grater and then combining them, or using a food processor to pulse butter into the dry mixture. At the end, flour mixture should be fairly dry with small chunks of cold butter. Do not overmix dough.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together wet mixture which consist of sour cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and egg.
  • Pour four/butter mixture into wet mixture. Use hands to fold flour mixture into wet mixture. After combining, mixture should be slightly crumbly, not too wet or sticky. Do not overmix dough. Form dough into a large ball.
  • Flour surface, and place dough ball on surface.

  • Once scones are done, cool completely using a baking rack.
  • Drizzle scones with maple glaze.
  • Serve and enjoy!
