Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1/2 cup chilled pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup cold milk
- 1 cold egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin puree
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chilled pumpkin puree, cold milk, cold egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Chill again for best texture.
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, diced unsalted butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the chilled pumpkin mixture. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Fold over lightly a few times on a floured surface, then shape into an 8×5 inch rectangle and cut into 6 squares.
- Place the squares on the baking sheet and bake for 17–18 minutes until lightly golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and 2 tbsp of heavy cream until smooth, adding more cream if needed. Allow scones to cool completely before glazing.
- Spread the vanilla glaze over each scone, then drizzle with a spiced pumpkin glaze made from the remaining ingredients.
- Let the glazes set for 15-20 minutes before serving.
