Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour mix*
¼ cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
6 tablespoons butter, frozen
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons half & half
1 large egg
½ cup powdered sugar
3 teaspoons milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon pumpkin spice

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the gluten-free flour (or rice flour, starch, xanthan gum), sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice inside a sifter and sift into a large bowl. Give it a mix to combine.
Using a cheese grater, grate the butter into the dry mixture. Combine the shredded butter and dry ingredients with your hands until there are no large lumps and you have a coarse sand-like texture.
In a medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin, half & half, and eggs until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a thick dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface (with additional gluten-free flour or tapioca starch) and make a large circle around 1-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 6 to 8 triangles and place each scone onto the lined baking sheet. If using a scone pan, grease it first and then simply fill each scone cavity with dough.
Bake 14-16 minutes until they are light brown. Remove from oven and allow them to cool.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting and mashing a sugar pumpkin, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or honey.
