Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick circle.
  7. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and maple syrup until smooth. Add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired drizzling consistency.
  11. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra touch of fall flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough.
  • Ensure your butter is very cold for the flakiest scones.
  • Don’t overmix the dough; this can make the scones tough.
  • You can adjust the amount of milk in the glaze to get your preferred thickness.
