Instructions
For the Pumpkin Scones:
- Set the cubed butter on a plate and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin, egg, heavy cream, molasses, clear vanilla, and vanilla until combined. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse the sifted flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and spices until combined. Add the cold butter into the food processor and pulse only until pea-size pieces remain for about 20 seconds.
- Transfer to a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix with a fork, incorporating the dry ingredients a little at a time until a shaggy dough forms (it's okay if the dough looks a little dry, just don't overwork it, or the scones will be tough!)
- Tip the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Flour your hands and pat them into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles and freeze them for at least 15 minutes. Spread the pumpkin scones out on the baking sheet and brush with a bit of heavy cream. Bake the pumpkin scones until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 18- 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for about 1 hour.
For the Pumpkin Glaze:
- Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined. When the pumpkin scones are cool, spread some pumpkin glaze mixtures on top of each scone and wait about 15 minutes for the glaze to set and serve. Enjoy!
