Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg lightly beaten, large
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup butter cut into pieces, cold unsalted
- 2 tablespoons butter for brushing, melted
espresso glaze
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 ounces espresso freshly brewed
- 1 teaspoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- coarse sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, egg, cream, milk and vanilla extract.
- Add the small cold butter pieces to the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a fork, pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the butter until it forms coarse crumbs. You want the butter in small pieces and evenly distributed through the flour.
- Add the wet ingredients. Mix just until a dough forms, bringing it together with your hands. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently once or twice.
- Divide the dough in half and pat each into a 6-inch round circle. Brush each scone with melted butter. Cut each round into 4 or 6 slices.
- Bake the scones for 12 to 14 minutes, until the tops are slightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes, then drizzle with the glaze and top with the coarse sugar. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes, then serve!
espresso glaze
- Whisk together the ingredients until a smooth, drippy glaze forms. If the mixture is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a little more powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add 1 teaspoon of espresso or milk at a time, whisking to combine. Drizzle over the scones.
