How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup pumpkin puree, and ½ cup milk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into an 8-inch circle. Avoid over-kneading.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  9. Carefully transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
