Breakfast Treats—Pumpkin Scones

October 20, 2015 by Tonja Leave a Comment

Adapted from Starbucks, these pumpkin scones are great for holidays, a fun morning treat for your kids, or just because your home will smell delicious after you make them.  They are incredibly simple to make and can be frozen and reheated in a microwave.  Dark black coffee is a must with these.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 7 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1⁄2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 1 large egg
  • Powdered Sugar Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. TO MAKE THE SCONES:.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
  5. Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide). Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making three equal portions. Cut those three slices diagonally so that you have 6 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.
  7. TO MAKE THE PLAIN GLAZE:.
  8. Mix the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk together until smooth.
  9. When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze over the top of each scone.
