Description
Delicious pumpkin scones topped with a sweet maple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons butter (cold)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon Maple Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a food processor, add the flour and butter. Pulse about 10 times, or until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add baking powder, sugar, and salt and pulse again to mix.
- Transfer the butter and flour mixture to a large mixing bowl, then add the cream, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix, using a spatula or wooden spoon, until the dry ingredients are wet. Do not overmix!
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper into a 9-10″ round cake pan (preferred) or spray a 9-10″ round cake pan with nonstick spray, then gently and evenly pat the scone dough into the bottom of the cake pan to create a circle shape.
- Invert the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to slice into 8 even triangles. Separate the scones a little on the prepared baking sheet, then brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, make your maple glaze. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the maple syrup. Stir, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the powdered sugar and a tablespoon of milk, if needed. Mix well, making sure there are no lumps of sugar. Add up to 1 tablespoon more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Remove the scones from the oven and drizzle with the maple glaze. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
