Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line or grease a baking sheet.
- Sift the flour, sugar and spices into a bowl.
- Using your fingertips, rub the cubes of cold butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until the mixture has the consistency of coarse breadcrumbs.
- In another bowl, lightly mix together the pumpkin, milk and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Form a ball with the dough, adding a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- On a lightly floured countertop, form the dough into a circle approximately ½ inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on the baking tray and brush with a little milk.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until risen and lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, mix all the glaze ingredients together, then drizzle onto the cooled pumpkin scones.
Notes
- When looking for a pureed pumpkin, make sure you don’t buy pumpkin pie filling as that already contains spices and sugar.
- The scones should be cooled completely before adding vanilla glaze as adding it while they are warm will cause them to slide off and melt.
- When forming the scone dough, it’s very important to make sure you use cold butter in the recipe.
- Warm butter will melt into the flour and will not create a scone texture.
- To make your own pumpkin puree; simply peel, cube, and steam or roast pumpkin or butternut squash. Allow it to cool and then puree with a handheld stick blender or food processor until smooth.
- Instead of the individual spices, use 1 ½ teaspoons of Pumpkin Spice Blend.
