Pumpkin spice scones with ginger glaze
This recipe produces flaky, bread-like scones with a hit of fresh pumpkin flavour and a rich, sweet spice profile lengthened by the addition of white peppercorn. An optional glaze picks up on and amplifies the ginger within the scones.
Recipe under the cut!
Patreon | Tip jar
Makes 6-8 scones.
INGREDIENTS:
For the scones:
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1/4 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, to taste
1/2 cup non-dairy margarine, very cold
1/2 cup pumpkin pur茅e
2 Tbsp non-dairy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 small stick cinnamon or 2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 allspice berries or 1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 small head of a mace or 1/2 tsp ground mace (or substitute 8 whole cloves / 1/2 tsp ground cloves)
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
4 white peppercorns, or pinch white pepper (optional)
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp golden raisins (optional)
3 Tbsp chopped walnuts (optional)
For the glaze:
4-inch chunk (40g) ginger, sliced or crushed
1/3 cup water
3-4 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If using whole spices: toast spices in a small pan on medium for a minute or two until fragrant, then grind using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
For the glaze:
1. Slice your ginger, or slice and then lightly crush it in a mortar and pestle.
2. Add ginger and 1/3 cup of water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until water has reduced to about 1 Tbsp of liquid. Remove from heat and allow to steep for about half an hour.
3. Strain liquid into a small mixing bowl, squeezing water from the ginger as necessary. Add sugar until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
For the scones:
1. If using whole spices: toast spices in a small pan on medium for a minute or two until fragrant, then grind using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
2. Put dry ingredients (flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt) in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
3. Cut margarine into the dry ingredients using a knife or a pastry blender until the bits of margarine are about the size of peas. It's okay if there are a few larger chunks!
4. Mix wet ingredients (pumpkin pur茅e, milk, vanilla, vinegar) in a small bowl until combined. Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine to form your dough--it should just come together into a non-sticky ball. If any flour remains at the bottom of the bowl, add water a teaspoon at a time.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form drop scones by dropping heaping spoonfuls of dough two inches apart onto your baking sheet, or form triangular scones by shaping dough into a large, flat circle 戮" thick and dividing the circle evenly with a sharp knife.
6. For flakier scones, freeze the shaped batter for about an hour.
7. Bake at 425F in the upper third of your oven for 15-20 minutes, until scones are firm and golden brown on top and cooked all the way through.
To serve:
1. Drizzle glaze over the scones while they are still warm to produce a thin, even layer; or wait until the scones cool before glazing them to produce a thicker, shapeable pattern.
