Description

Indulge in the ultimate fall treat with these Pumpkin Scones. Perfectly spiced and delightfully moist, these scones are topped with a sweet glaze for a touch of added sweetness. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a cozy afternoon snack, these scones are a must-try for any pumpkin lover.


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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake: Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and optional cinnamon until smooth.
  6. 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.
