Pumpkin Scones


Pumpkins scones from Oh She Glows! My dough was kind of sticky and wet... may or may not have had something to do with the fact that I didn't have spelt flour and just kind of improvised. It wasn't terrible, but I think the consistency would have been better with the flour called for.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole grain spelt flour
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2-3 tbsp. sugar
  • 8 tbsp. Earth Balance butter
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 tbsp. almond milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 chia/flax egg (1 tbsp. ground chia/flax + 4 tbsp water)
  • Turbinado sugar, to garnish
  • Vegan Egg Wash:
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tbsp. water
  • Spiced Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1.5-2 tbsp. almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and a pinch of ginger and nutmeg)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment of a non-stick mat.
  2. In a small bowl mix the chia/flax egg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger).
  4. Take the cold Earth Balance butter cut butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.
  5. In a medium sized bowl, mix the pumpkin, chia/flax egg, and almond milk.
  6. Add wet to dry and mix until a ball forms. I got down and dirty and mixed with my hands!
  7. On a flour surface place the ball of dough and kneed a few times with your hands.
  8. Shape the dough into a circle and then cut into 8 triangles.
  9. Now mix your vegan egg wash by mixing cornstarch and water and heating in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well.
  10. With a pastry brush, brush on the glaze onto each scone.
  11. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar generously and bake for 14 minutes.
  12. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
  13. While cooling, make your spiced glaze by beating 1 cup powdered sugar with milk and spice until smooth.
  14. When scones are cool ice the scones and serve with a cup of tea or coffee!
