Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Oak City Spice Blends Pumpkin Love seasoning
1 egg, lightly beaten (for egg wash)
2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling on top)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon of Oak City Spice Blends Pumpkin Love seasoning.
Cut in the Butter:
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Pecans and Raisins:
Stir in the chopped pecans and raisins until evenly distributed.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Form the Scones:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
Prepare for Baking:
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake:
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy these delicious pecan, raisin, and buttermilk scones with a touch of Pumpkin Love seasoning for a delightful, spiced twist!
