Butternut Squash Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp butternut squash puree
  • 1 large egg
  • cup milk of choice
  • coarse sugar

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
  • Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In another bowl, whisk together butternut squash puree, egg and milk. Stir in the dry ingredients until just moistened.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead the dough.
  • Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
  • Place the wedges on a parchment lined baking sheet, 1-inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow the scones to cool on a wire rack.
  • While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon.
  • Once the scones are cooled, drizzle the glaze on the scones and sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds.
