Pumpkin Cranberry Scones

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Cranberry Scones.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a light greasing to your baking sheet to ensure those scones come off easily.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt until everything is beautifully blended.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to add the unsalted butter.

4. Step 4

   You can use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse oatmeal, creating that perfect crumbly texture.

5. Step 5

   Next, gently fold in the pumpkin puree, chopped cranberries, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract.

6. Step 6

   Use a fork to mix everything together, but remember, we want to keep it light—overmixing is a no-go! Once your dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle about an inch thick.

7. Step 7

   Cut the dough into 10 triangles or squares, and place them on your prepared baking sheet, ready for the oven.

8. Step 8

   Bake those delightful scones for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

9. Step 9

   While they’re baking, whip up a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a splash of milk in a small bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.

10. Step 10

    Once the scones are out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the delicious aroma filling your kitchen.

    Finally, drizzle that sweet glaze over the warm scones and get ready to enjoy a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion!.
