How to Make Irresistible Maple Pumpkin Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of your flour mixture and pour in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and heavy cream. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Slice into wedges.
  6. Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Optional: Drizzle with additional maple syrup before serving.
