Brief Description
These are amazing! They are soo good and moist. When I made them they tasted more like a delicious puffy muffin than a scone. I made the recipe from Alice's Cookbook but found this online.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons - granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons - baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons - baking powder
- 3/8 teaspoons - kosher salt I used Morton
- 1 tablespoons - ground ginger
- 1 tablespoons - ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons - unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces (mine was cold)
- 5 ounces - buttermilk
- 1/2 cups - canned pumpkin puree all pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 tablespoons - pure vanilla extract
- 1 sticks - 4 oz unsalted butter
- 1/2 cups - firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons - freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoons - kosher salt
- 1/4 cups - heavy cream
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. With clean hands, work the butter into the dry mixture until it is thoroughly incorporated and has the consistency of fine breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour the buttermilk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract into the well. Still using your hands (I did this with a spatula scraper), combine the ingredients until all the dry mixture is wet, but do not knead!
Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and gather the dough together. Gently pat the dough to make a disk about 1 1/2 inches thick.(My dough was pretty soft, so I used about a 1/3 cup measure and made drop scones) 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 (Again, I bypassed all that and made drop scones.
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.
While the scones are cooling, prepare the caramel glaze: Place the butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk gently until the mixture is smooth. Just as the mixture comes to a light boil, add the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Whisk well for 2 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened and smooth; then remove the pan from the heat.
To glaze a scone, hold it by the bottom, dip the top in the warm caramel glaze, and place it back on the baking sheet. Makes 5 to 6
