Slow down and bring a few of the flavors of fall into your busy day. Lightly sweet, these Pumpkin Cranberry Scones are the perfect mid day treat.
Pumpkin and cranberries are definitely fall flavors and together they make a perfect pair! These tasty little scones are moist on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. A simple cinnamon glaze adds a delightful sweetness.
These scones contain no butter or oil, so they’re “healthier” too.
Slow down and enjoy these scones as I did. They’re lovely with a midday cup of tea or with your morning coffee.
Pumpkin Cranberry Scones
Slow down and bring a few of the flavors of fall into your busy day. Lightly sweet, these Pumpkin Cranberry Scones are the perfect mid day treat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger.
- In another bowl, stir together the pumpkin, milk and egg.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold in the cranberries.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle.
- Cut the dough into 8 wedges.
- Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and after a minute, transfer to a cooling rack.
- TO MAKE THE GLAZE
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon and milk until smooth. The glaze should have enough liquid in it to drizzle onto the scones so add a little more milk if needed, a half a teaspoon at a time.
- When the scones have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the tops.
