American Pumpkin Spice Scones

1. 1

   ["Preheat Oven to 400u00b0 Farenheit", "Combine dry ingredients by sifting together in a bowl or lightly whisking to incorporate air.", "In a separate bowl beat the egg, vanilla, and sugars (brown and maple) together before incorporating the pumpkin puree.", "In dry-mix bowl, add in cubed butter and use a cutter or fingertips to combine ingredients. Stop when you acheive a wet-sand texture.", "Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until a sticky dough forms.", "At this time you can add the dough to a greased and floured scone pan and lightly dust wet scones with more flour, or if you prefer the traditional route complete the following steps:

2. 2

   1) Knead dough in bowl and flip onto floured surface. Sifting small amounts of flour onto dough if it becomes too sticky. Work dough into a 1"" thick disk. Slice dough into 6-8 wedges.

3. 3

   2) Place wedges onto a cookie sheet that is either lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with a cooking oil (I prefer coconut oil.)", "Bake for 12-18 minutes. Once the scones are firm but not too hard (you don't want pumpkin rocks), remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.", "Serve glazed, with whipped butter, applesauce, maple syrup, or any other topping your heart desires."]
