Ingredients

Scale

Scone Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (or coconut oil for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream or buttermilk (or plant-based milk for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients. Cut cold butter into small cubes to keep it chilled and easier to work with.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to evenly distribute spices and seasonings.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to incorporate cold butter into the dry mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs, creating flaky layers.
  4. Add the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, heavy cream (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing for tender scones.
  5. Shape and Cut the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick round, then cut into 8 triangular scones.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  7. Prepare the Glaze and Drizzle: While baking, whisk powdered sugar with maple syrup or milk until smooth. Once scones have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over them to finish.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold to create flaky scones.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense scones.
  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor impact.
  • Cut scones evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  • Allow scones to cool briefly before glazing to prevent glaze from melting off.
