PUMPKIN SPICE SCONES image

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter
1/2 cup pure pumpkin
2 Tbsp low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Dice butter into 1/2-inch pieces; sprinkle over flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut in evenly until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together pumpkin, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in just until incorporated. Use a floured bench scraper to scrape dough out onto prepared baking sheet; flour hands and pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Score into 12 wedges with floured bench scraper. Bake 16 to 17 minutes, until golden. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, then carefully transfer to wire rack to cool before slicing into wedges. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set rack with scones over a piece of wax paper and drizzle with glaze; let set before serving. If not serving scones immediately, store unglazed in an airtight container up to 2 days and glaze just before serving.
