Print Recipe

Buttery, flaky pumpkin spice scones packed with warm fall spices and topped with a maple glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until a shaggy dough forms.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into an 8-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
  7. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Chill the shaped scones in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the butter.
  9. Brush the tops with a little extra cream and bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden and set.
  10. Cool scones on a wire rack for 10 minutes while you make the glaze.
  11. Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk together until smooth, then drizzle over the warm scones before serving.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For extra flaky layers, freeze the butter for 10 minutes before cutting it into the flour.
