Deliciously Spiced Pumpkin Scones with a Sweet Glaze

by

These Pumpkin Scones are a delightful addition to any autumn brunch or cozy afternoon tea. With a tender, fluffy texture and the warm spices of pumpkin pie, they evoke all the comforting flavors of the season. The sweet glaze adds a perfect finishing touch, enhancing both the flavor and presentation of these lovely baked goods.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tbsp milk
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones once they are out of the oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
