Description

These sweet spiced scones are perfect to bake on a cool fall morning.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SCONES:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ cups White Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Ground Clove
  • 8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold
  • ½ cups Canned Pure Pumpkin Purée
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • FOR THE VANILLA FROSTING:
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • FOR THE SPICED DRIZZLE:
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Ground Clove

Preparation

For the scones: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Dice the butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry blade until the flour and butter resemble small peas. Set aside.

In a separate smaller bowl, combine the pumpkin, cream, vanilla, and egg. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. At this point, pick up the dough and knead on a floured surface about 5 times until well combined. Don’t work the dough too much, though.

Form dough into a long rectangle, about an inch thick. With a sharp knife or pastry blade, cut the rectangle of dough into three pieces, then cut each of those pieces in half on the angle, so you have six triangle-shaped scones. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat and bake for 14-16 minutes.

While scones are baking, make the frosting. Using an electric mixer, combine all ingredients for the vanilla frosting until smooth. Taste to make sure it’s delicious.

Remove scones from oven when done and place them on a cooling rack set over a piece of wax paper.

Using a spatula, slather each scone in the vanilla frosting. The more the better, and it’s best to do this while the scones are still warm. Allow to cool while you make the spiced frosting.

In the same bowl you used for the vanilla frosting, using an electric mixer, combine all ingredients for the spiced drizzle. Again, taste to make sure you like it. Transfer to a squeeze bottle and drizzle over each scone.

Enjoy! Makes 6 large scones.

The other day, I went to Starbucks to get my seasonal favorite #PSL (I have to use the hashtag, right). I decided to order a scrumptious fall baked good to complement my beverage: a pumpkin scone. I was shocked when the barista explained to me that they have temporarily discontinued the pumpkin scones because stores can’t keep up with such high demand. What? Anyhow, still craving a pumpkin scone, and with a free afternoon in our new kitchen, I was determined to make my own.
