I’ve always been more of a plain carrot cake fan, and these scones reflect that. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger spice up the inside of the scones while a cream cheese glaze sweetens the top and chopped pecans add a bit of texture and nuttiness. 8 servings Ingredients: chopped pecans, optional 2 tbsp. milk 6 tbsp. confectioner's sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 2 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup shredded carrot 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup butter 1/4 tsp. ginger 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. baking powder 3 tbsp. brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup white whole wheat flour

03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugars, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Step 2

Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir together yogurt, vanilla, and egg. Add to dry mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in shredded carrot.
Step 3

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4-5 times until just comes together. Shape dough into about an 8 inch circle. Cut into 8 pieces and place on prepared baking sheet.
Step 4

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until just starting to turn light golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Step 5

Prepare glaze by beating cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and salt together. Add milk and beat until smooth. (For a thicker glaze, add more confectioner's by tablespoon full until desired consistency is reached).
Step 6

Spoon glaze over the top of scones. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Serve.
