Equipment

  • Oven
  • pizza pan
  • parchment paper
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Pizza Cutter
  • mixing spoon
  • whisk to make icing

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick very cold butter cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin such as Libby's
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a food processor bowl. Pulse to combine ingredients. Add cubed ice cold butter pieces into bowl, pulsing until combined into flour mixture. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour in buttermilk, add pumpkin, buttermilk, sour cream and almond extract, mixing gently until dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chips.
  • With floured hands transfer dough to prepared pizza pan. Press and form into 1/2 inch thick round. Brush tops of scone dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake for 20-23 minutes, until baked through and turning golden brown around edges. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Use a pizza cutter to slowly and carefully cut wedges into dough. Place wedges on serving plate.
  • To prepare icing, place powdered sugar into a medium mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in heavy cream until thick and smooth. Drizzle over top of scones and serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure your butter is ice cold before adding to food processor.
  • Don't over mix your scone dough. Mix just until combined for a tender scone.
  • Make extra icing to have extra for guests who would like more!
