Method

  1. 01

    Mix the dry ingredients

    Heat the oven to 200 °C. In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, fine salt, baking soda, and spice blend.

  2. 02

    Work in the butter

    Add the very cold unsalted butter in small pieces. Rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 03

    Mix the wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin purée with the egg, maple syrup, cream, and vanilla extract.

  4. 04

    Shape and cut the dough

    Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Gently bring the dough together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface, and flatten it to about 1 cm thick. Cut it into 12 pieces.

  5. 05

    Bake

    Place the pieces on a baking tray. Bake at 200 °C for 10 minutes; lower the oven to 180 °C and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes.
