PUMPKIN SCONES

2 cups Kentucky Proud flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter, cold and diced
1/3 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, chopped, optional
1/2 cup Kentucky Proud pumpkin puree
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the pecan and white chocolate chips and ginger, if using. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together until just combined. Transfer to a floured surface and knead very lightly, then form into a circle about 1 inch thick and 7-8 inches in diameter. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a scone comes out clean. Serve warm with butter, jam, or pumpkin cream cheese.
