Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
2
In a bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3
Mix together the butter and flour mixture using your fingertips, a pastry blender or two knives until it forms the texture of coarse meal. It’s okay if a few larger pieces remain.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and pumpkin. Add the pumpkin mixture and the pecans to the flour mixture and mix until combined.
5
On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, gently press the dough into a 1-inch thick circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
6
Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 even triangles (wedges) and gently pull apart on the parchment.
7
Transfer the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Pecans First 🥜Lightly toast the pecans in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes before chopping and adding to the dough to intensify their rich, buttery flavor and ensure maximum crispness in the final scone.
- Keep Butter Ice-Cold ❄️Cut your unsalted butter into small cubes and chill it for at least 30 minutes before mixing into the flour—this creates the flaky, tender texture that defines premium scones.
- Don't Overmix the Dough 🚫Mix only until the dough just comes together; overmixing develops gluten and results in dense, tough scones instead of light and crumbly ones.
- Bloom Your Spices 🌟Whisk your cinnamon and nutmeg with a tablespoon of melted butter before adding to the dry ingredients—this releases their essential oils and distributes their warm, aromatic flavors more evenly throughout the scones.
- Brush with Egg Wash for Golden Shine ✨Beat an egg with a splash of milk and brush generously on top of shaped scones just before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and professional bakery appearance.
