Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.

- Add cold cubed butter and 'mush' with clean hands until sand like texture forms (or, grate cold butter on a box grater and then fold into flour mixture).
- Add the pumpkin/egg/vanilla to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Place scone dough on floured surface and form into ball, with the exterior of the dough ball slightly flattened. Cut into 8 evenly sized scones.
- Meanwhile prepare egg wash and brown sugar sprinkle mix. Egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk cream and egg whites. Brown Sugar Sprinkle: In a small bowl, combine ingredients.
- Place each scone on baking sheet. Brush with egg wash using basting brush, and sprinkle brown sugar mixture over each scone.
- Bake scones for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving, and enjoy.
