Best 3 Pumpkin Spice Scones Recipes

PUMPKIN SPICE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and ginger in a large bowl. Mix butter into the flour mixture with your hands until it resembles coarse bread crumbs.
• Combine pumpkin, brown sugar, cream, and egg in a medium bowl with a whisk. Fold into flour mixture with a large spoon until the dry bits at the bottom of the bowl have been incorporated.
• Pat the mixture into a ball with your hands and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Continue to shape into a ball; gently press down and out, forming the dough into a flattened circle, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. If the edges start to crack, just place the palm of your hand against the edge and gently press the dough back in.
• Dust a large, sharp knife with flour and cut the dough into 6 triangles. Slide the knife under each to help you lift and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until scones begin to turn light brown in color, 12 to 16 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.
• While scones are cooling, mix confectioners' sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves for glaze together in a small bowl. Drizzle over scones while they are still warm.

PUMPKIN SPICE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Dice butter into 1/2-inch pieces; sprinkle over flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut in evenly until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together pumpkin, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in just until incorporated. Use a floured bench scraper to scrape dough out onto prepared baking sheet; flour hands and pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Score into 12 wedges with floured bench scraper. Bake 16 to 17 minutes, until golden. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, then carefully transfer to wire rack to cool before slicing into wedges. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set rack with scones over a piece of wax paper and drizzle with glaze; let set before serving. If not serving scones immediately, store unglazed in an airtight container up to 2 days and glaze just before serving.
