Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour plus more for the work surface
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and diced
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream plus more if needed
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree **not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl until combined.
- Cut in the cold diced butter with a pastry blender or two forks until only pea-sized pieces remain. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Whisk the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree in a small bowl. Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour half of the wet ingredients into the well. Gently mix until the ingredients are moist before adding the remaining wet ingredients. Mix just until a dough forms; do not overmix.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough until it comes together, then shape it into a 7-inch flattened disk.
- With a knife or bench scraper, portion the dough into eight triangles. *See notes. Place the dough triangles onto a parchment-lined sheet tray and refrigerate them for one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Whisk the egg and tablespoon of cream in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash onto each scone. (You will not use all of the egg wash.) Bake the scones for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool the scones on a wire rack.
