Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.333 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges (like a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
While the scones are cooling, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the scones are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top or spread it with a knife.
Serve and enjoy your pumpkin scones with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
