Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the glaze
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
For the spiced glaze
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, egg and vanilla. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
  4. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pill, roll the dough into an 8″ circle, about 1-inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges.
  5. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. When the scones are done, cool for 10 minutes and spoon the glaze on each scone before drizzling with spiced glaze.
  7. Allow glazes to set before serving.
