Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 6 tablespoons 85g cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup 122g pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla Glaze:
  • 1 cup 114g powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pumpkin Spice Glaze:
  • 1 cup 114g powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  3. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Whisk pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Shape dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place on baking sheet.
  7. Bake 14-16 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Prepare glazes separately. Drizzle with vanilla glaze first, allow to set, then top with pumpkin spice glaze.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky texture. Do not overmix the dough to ensure tender scones.
