Description
Tender, spiced pumpkin scones drizzled with sweet glaze. Perfect for cozy fall mornings or holiday brunch.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2–3 tbsp cream (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, cream, and vanilla.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
6. Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently knead, and shape into an 8-inch circle.
7. Cut into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet.
8. Brush tops with cream and bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Cool slightly before drizzling with glaze made from powdered sugar and cream.
Notes
Use very cold butter for flakier scones.
Do not overmix the dough — handle it gently for the best texture.
Add chocolate chips, nuts, or cream cheese filling for variations.
