Time 35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ pinch ground cloves
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
⅔ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup chopped pecans
½ cup butter
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 ½ tablespoons milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and ground cloves together in a bowl. Cut unsalted butter chunks into flour mixture with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; make a well in the center.
  • Pour pumpkin puree, yogurt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the well in flour mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Mix pecans into dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into two equal-size circles. Cut each circle into 8 wedges; transfer to a baking stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake scones in the preheated oven until firm to the touch and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until butter is foaming and nut-brown in color, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat brown butter, confectioners' sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until sugar is dissolved and glaze is shiny, 3 to 4 minutes, adding more milk as necessary. Drizzle glaze over cooled scones.
