Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients:

For the Scones:

🌾 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

🍬 1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar, packed

🧂 1 teaspoon baking powder

🧂 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt

🍂 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

🧈 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

🎃 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree

🥛 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream

🥚 1 large egg

🍦 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

🍬 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

🥛 2-3 tablespoons milk

🌿 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

🍂 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for drizzle, optional)

Directions:

🔥 Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

🌾 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

🧈 Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

🎃 In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

🥄 Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (don’t overmix!).

🍪 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

🍂 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.

🍬 While the scones cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the scones and, if desired, mix a little pumpkin pie spice into some glaze and drizzle it on top.
