Ingredients
For the Scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, heavy cream, and egg. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Shape the Scones:
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.
- Bake: Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and optional cinnamon until smooth.
- Glaze the Scones: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use freshly grated nutmeg and cloves.
Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency or more milk for a thinner glaze.
