Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Butter cold, cubed
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree canned
  • 2 large Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk

For the Maple Glaze:

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    2 ¾ cup All-purpose flour, ½ cup Brown sugar, ½ cup Granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Ground ginger, ½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Baking soda, ½ teaspoon Salt
  • Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    1 cup Butter
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine, be careful not to overmix!
    1 cup Pumpkin puree, 2 large Eggs, ½ cup Milk
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread slightly.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the scones bake, prepare the maple glaze (see instructions below).
  • Let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the cooled scones with the maple glaze, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Maple Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth and pourable. You may need to adjust the amount of maple syrup.
    1 cup Powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons Maple syrup

Notes

  • Use cold butter for the flakiest scones.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can lead to tough scones.
  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking the scones.
  • Let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
