  • Total Time: 31 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture looks crumbly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle.
  7. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Lightly brush the tops with cream or milk to promote browning.
  9. Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
  11. While cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let it set before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped pecans, walnuts, or mini chocolate chips to the dough.

If you prefer a different glaze, try mixing maple syrup with powdered sugar for a richer, autumn flavor.

These scones can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.
