Servings: 12 scones
Ingredients
- 3 Tbs skim milk
- ¼½ tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp + ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 7 Tbsp cold butter
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- 3 Tbsp pure, dark maple syrup
Glaze
- 1 ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp pure, dark maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp skim milk
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, stir the milk and apple cider vinegar together. Set aside as this will make a “buttermilk” after 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices. Cut in the butter, breaking it into pea-size pieces by hand or with a pastry blender, as you mix it with the other dry ingredients.
- Turn out half the dough onto a well floured surface and form it into a circle about six inches in diameter. If the dough is still pretty sticky, add some extra flour.
- Cut the circle into six pieces and place the scones on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough.Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once the scones are cool, whisk all the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl and drizzle over the top. Enjoy!
Notes
Instead of using skim milk and apple cider vinegar, regular buttermilk will work as well.
