Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.333 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges (like a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 9

While the scones are cooling, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the scones are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top or spread it with a knife.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your pumpkin scones with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
