Total Time1 hour
Servings: 12 scones

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 3/4 cups plain flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 8 tablespoons 1 stick cold butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin butter or pumpkin puree drained over colander
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Chai Spices

  • 2 tablespoons black tea
  • 1 teaspoons anise seed or 2 teaspoons fennel seed
  • 2 teaspoons cardamom powder
  • 1 small cinnamon stick broken
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (yup!)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine dry ingredients (flour through salt) in stand mixer or large bowl.
  • Slice cold butter into about 1 tsp chunks and add to dry ingredients.
  • Use paddle in stand mixer or pastry cutter in bowl and combine until there are about pea-sized chunks of butter left.
  • Run chai spices and tea through spice grinder and add to dough along with wet ingredients.
  • Pat into a 8-10 inch circle on lightly floured surface or directly on parchment paper, cut into twelve equal pieces and carefully separate- the slices will almost double in size!
  • (Optional) If doing a sugar topping, brush with milk or egg wash and sprinkle with Turbinado or table sugar.
  • Bake 30-40 min or until golden brown. Enjoy!
