Let's make it!

This recipe for pumpkin scones is just like Starbucks, but it tastes even better.

1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.

2

Add the cold butter cubes and cut into the mixture using a pastry cutter or two butter knives until the largest pieces are the size of peas; set aside.

3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, egg, and heavy cream until well combined.

4

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be very wet and sticky.

5

Transfer the dough to a well floured surface, then sprinkle some flour on top and form into an 8” disc using floured hands. Cut the scones using a sharp knife into 8 equal wedges, then carefully transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet.

6

Preheat the oven to 400F. While the oven preheats, chill the scones in the fridge. Remove from the fridge then brush with a little heavy cream before baking in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.

7

While the scones bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together 2 cups of the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and spreadable.

8

Allow the scones to cool completely before spooning and spreading the glaze over the top of each scone.

9

To the remaining glaze in the bowl, whisk in the pumpkin puree and cinnamon until smooth, if the icing is too thin add a sprinkle more of powdered sugar until it is the desired consistency.

10

Drizzle or pipe the pumpkin glaze over the scones once the first layer has set slightly, about 10 minutes.
