Pumpkin Ginger Scones With Cinnamon Chips
This is a delicious flavorful scone that is good at any time of year, not just in the fall and winter. Enjoy for breakfast, with tea or coffee or even for dessert. Makes a good gift, too. just made them again for a friends birthday (1/09) and mmmmm forgot how i love them so much.
Steps
Combine 1 / 2 c sugar , flour , baking powder , cinnamon , baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Cut 5 tbsp butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.
In separate bowl combine the egg , pumpkin , sour cream and ginger.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.
Mix in cinnamon chips.
Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead 10x.
I add extra flour here as the dough is usually a bit moist.
Divide dough in half and form each half into a 1 / 2 inch thick circle.
Cut each circle into 8 wedges.
Brush wedges with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in preheated 425 degree oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden on edges.
