Pumpkin Scones

Pumpkin Scones

We are smack dab in the middle of Fall and I am absolutely loving it. Give me all the Fall things!!! I want the leaves, and the weather, and the sweaters, and the baking of all things pumpkin of course. Our Pumpkin Scones will give you all the Fall vibes. These cake-like scones make an excellent addition to breakfast or brunch and pair wonderfully with a Pumpkin Spice Latte if I do say so myself. And don’t you dare skimp on that glaze!! It’s sweetness is the perfect compliment to the savory pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin lovers will be all about this one!

Here’s all you’ll need: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, butter, eggs, canned pumpkin, milk, and confectioners’ sugar.

Pumpkin Scones ingredients list

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, 1-1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a whisk to combine.

Flour, brown sugar, baking powder, 3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt whisked together in a large mixing bowl.

Next using a knife, a fork, or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Now I absolutely hate having extra tools cluttering up my kitchen drawers. But oh my goodness I wish I would have bought a pastry blender years ago. Seriously you can grab one for like $5. Totally worth it.

Add the egg, pumpkin, and 1/4 cup milk to a separate bowl and whisk it all up! It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of liquid in this recipe but trust me when I say these Pumpkin Scones will bake up nice and moist. It’ll be love at first bite.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened. The dough will be sticky! Turn on a lightly floured surface. Continue to knead (about 10 times) until a soft dough forms, soaking up the additional flour as you go.

Press the dough into an 8 inch circle, then cut it into eight wedges. Separate the wedges and spread them out evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet. Parchment paper = not only better baking results but also easier clean up. It’s a win win!! Brush the wedges with the remaining 1/4 cup of milk. Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pumpkin scones are golden brown.

Remove the scones from the oven and place on wire racks to cool. Cool for 10 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar, 1-1/2 Tablespoons of milk, and 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until a creamy glaze forms. Even the glaze smells nice and pumpkin-y!
