Ingredients:

• 2 cups organic flour
• 1/3 cup organic brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted organic butter, cut into small cubes

• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup organic pumpkin puree

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place that baking sheet on top of another baking sheet.
• 2. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• 3. Knead the butter in until it forms small crumbs. Mix in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
• 4. In a separate bowl mix together the buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla. Mix into the crumb mix until it forms a dough.
• 5. On a lightly floured surface knead the dough until it forms a ball.
• 6. Pat the ball to about 7 inches wide, then cut into 8 - 10 pieces. I used floss to do this.
• 7. Move the scones to the baking sheet and brush with either an egg wash or heavy cream.
• 8. Bake 20 minutes, rotating 180 degrees after 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• 9. Enjoy immediately - making this recipe perfect for sharing! :)
