For best results, use cold butter straight from the refrigerator. This helps create a flaky texture. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in tough scones. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits or nuts. Dried cranberries or chopped walnuts would be delicious additions. These scones can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking. Simply place the unbaked scones on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. (3 minutes)
03
StepUsing a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the raisins. (7 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, and buttermilk until well combined. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy. (3 minutes)
06
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch-thick circle. Using a sharp knife or a scone cutter, cut the dough into 14 scones. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes)
07
StepBrush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg white. This will give them a beautiful golden sheen. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (12 minutes)
09
StepTransfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm! (2 minutes)
