Provided by Ali

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup very cold salted butter,* diced or grated
3/4 cup pumpkin purée
1/3 cup buttermilk (or milk), plus extra for brushing
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons buttermilk (or milk)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ginger or cardamom

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt until evenly combined.
  • Add the diced butter and use a pastry cutter or two forks (or a food processor, see below) to cut the butter evenly into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter forms no larger than pea-sized chunks.
  • Add in the pumpkin purée, milk and vanilla extract. Then use a spatula to quickly and gently stir the mixture until no dry streaks remain. (Try to avoid over-mixing.)
  • Turn the mixture out onto a flour-dusted surface and fold the dough over on itself a few times until it holds together and can form a ball. (The dough will be a bit sticky, so don't worry.) Pat the dough down flat into an 8-inch circle. Then use a large knife or bench scraper to slice the dough into 8 equal-sized pie wedges. (You may need to wipe off your knife between slices if the dough is sticky.)
  • Transfer the wedges to a parchment-covered baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Then transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for 15 minutes or so while your oven heats. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  • Briefly brush the top of each scone with a bit of buttermilk. Then transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through. Transfer to a wire baking rack to cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until combined. (If the mixture seems too thin, add more powdered sugar.) Then once the scones have cooled a bit, brush or drizzle the glaze on top of the scones. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh pumpkin puree is essential for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure it is unsweetened.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Bake the Scones at a High Temperature: Baking the scones at a high temperature will help them rise quickly and create a crispy exterior.
  • Don't Overbake the Scones: Overbaking the scones will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and crispy exterior, they are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you follow the classic recipe or experiment with different variations, you are sure to find a pumpkin scone recipe that you love.
