I made these last night and they are a keeper! The house smelled wonderful, of cinnamon and nutmeg. You get a nut or a cranberry in every bite of the nicely spiced pumpkin scone. I have made a couple other scone recipes, but they were not winners in my book. I'm just posting the ones that are good enough to make again. So far, I only have this one recipe on that list, but I will continue experimenting and finding more, as I love baking and socnes!
CRANBERRY-PUMPKIN SCONES
l l/4 cups all-purpose flour l/2 cup whole wheat flour l/4 cup sugar l tsp. baking powder l/2 tsp. baking soda l/2 tsp. ground cinnamon l/2 tsp. ground nutmeg l/4 cup butter (no subs), cut up l/2 cup canned pumpkin l/2 cup applesauce l/3 cup chopped walnuts l/3 cup dried cranberries l Tbsp. brown sugar
Preheat over to 350.
Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder/soda, cinnamon, & nutmeg in large bowl. Cut in butter til resembles fine crumbs. Add pumpkin, applesauce, nuts, cranberries--stir just till moistened. Transfer dough to greased cookie sheet. Use floured hands to pat dough into an 8" circle. Use a long knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges, but do not separate wedges. Sprinkle w/brown sugar. Bake for 15-20 min or until browned. Cool slightly and separate wedges. Serve warm.
(To do ahead: Put cooled scones in freezer bag, freeze up to 3 mos. Thaw for l hour at room temp, then wrap in foil and warm at 350 for l0-l5 min.)
