• In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, vanilla and egg. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture. Add the pecans and toss to combine. Use a fork to stir in the pumpkin mixture just until you have craggy dough. Do not overmix.
• Tip the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and pat it into a 6-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles and freeze them for at least 15 minutes. (Once they're frozen, you could transfer them to an airtight container and keep them frozen for up to a month.)
• Spread the scones out on the baking sheet and brush with a bit of cream. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

PUMPKIN-CRANBERRY SCONES WITH WHIPPED MAPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry along with the cranberries and candied ginger. Mix until it is all just combined (do not over-mix or the scones will be tough).
• Transfer to a lightly-floured surface and knead the dough gently 4 or 5 times. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 8 inches round and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the circle in half, and then cut each half into 4 pie-shaped wedges (triangles). Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the heavy cream.
• Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a baking rack for 15 minutes before serving.
• For the butter: Meanwhile, combine the cream, maple syrup and sea salt in the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on low speed at first, then once the mixture begins to thicken, increase the speed and whip until light and fluffy and has turned into butter. Don't over-mix the butter or it will break.

PUMPKIN SCONES WITH MAPLE-CINNAMON GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, coriander and salt. If using roasted pumpkin, add 2 1/4 cups of the flour; if using canned pumpkin puree, add 2 cups of the flour. Cut in the butter using a bowl scraper until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, egg, and milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold until just combined. (If using roasted pumpkin you may need to add up to 1/4 cup more flour to prevent sticking.)
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 7 times. Form into a flat disc, about 8 inches wide. Cut the disc like a pie into six pieces and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
• For the maple glaze: In a medium bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon. Cover with a damp towel until you are ready to use. Dip the top of each scone in the glaze, letting any excess glaze drip back into the bowl. Place on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with the pearled sugar and let set.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the pumpkin into quarters and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil and lightly season with salt. Roast until softened, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool, then scoop out the flesh and mash until smooth. The pumpkin puree will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• In one large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
• Grate the cold butter directly into the dry ingredients (I do this by placing the bowl on top of a kitchen scale) then use the whisk to toss it in.
• In a second bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour into dry ingredients and gently fold together until 80% combined. Dump onto a sheet of parchment paper and fold it over on itself gently (you aren't kneading!) a few times to incorporate most of the remaining dry patches. It's ok if a few floury streaks remain. Pat the dough into an 8″ circle and slice into 8 wedges. Lift onto a parchment lined baking sheet using a floured cake lifter and bake for about 18 minutes, until they feel springy when pressed.
• If dough is too soft to lift individual scones, bake the whole thing as a circle at 375ºF for about 24 minutes and then pull apart after baking.
• For Glaze, whisk together: 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 4 tbsp cream or milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Drizzle over warm scones. Enjoy!

PUMPKIN SPICE SCONES

• Add the pumpkin and 80ml milk to the flour mixture and quickly stir everything together. Add more milk if you need to.
• Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and lightly bring together with your hands a couple of times. Roll out until 4cm thick and stamp out rounds with a 7cm cutter. Re-shape the trimmings until all the dough has been used. Place the rounds on a lightly floured baking sheet and brush the tops with any remaining milk. Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly browned.

PUMPKIN-OAT SCONES

• Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms and edges are just golden brown, 12 to 16 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• While the scones cool, mix the confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, remaining pinch of ginger, and dash of cinnamon together in a small bowl. Add more milk to thin the frosting as needed. Pour the frosting into a sealable plastic bag. Snip off a corner of the bag and drizzle icing over the cooled scones in a zigzag fashion. The icing will harden as it cools.

Gently pat the dough to make a disk about 1 1/2 inches thick. using a 3-or 3 1/2- inch biscuit cutter, cut out as many scones as you can and lay them on a nonstick baking sheet. Gather the remaining dough together lightly to cut out more scones-just don't knead the dough too much.
• 6. Bake the scones for about 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet (about 20 minutes) before glazing them.
