Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter frozen
  • ⅓ cup (105ml) heavy cream plus 2 tbsp for brushing at the end
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup (115g) canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar

Optional

  • ¼ cup white chocolate melted
  • ¼ cup butterscotch chips melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Grate frozen butter using a box grater into the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients: heavy cream, an egg, pumpkin puree, and brown sugar. Drizzle over flour/butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Dump dough onto a floured surface and shape into an 8 inch disk. Cut 8 equal pieces and place scone at least 2 inches apart onto baking sheet.
  • Brush with extra heavy cream and sprinkle with extra sugar if desired. Baking for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Drizzle optional white chocolate and butterscotch on top and enjoy!
