Print Recipe

These Pumpkin Scones are a delightful addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. The maple-cinnamon glaze is irresistible, adding a sweet and spicy finish to the tender, pumpkin-flavored scones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be moist but not wet.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into eight even wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. While the scones bake, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, maple extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth to make the glaze.
  10. Once the scones have cooled slightly, drizzle the maple-cinnamon glaze over them before serving.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter to achieve a flaky texture. The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more powdered sugar or cream. These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
