Thanks to my sister for bringing these yummy scones into my life and providing the recipe as well.
Scones Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 7 Tablespoons sugar (3/4 cup)
- 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 egg
Spiced Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Scones Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl.
4. With a fork, pastry knife, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter remain. Set aside.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin, half and half, and egg.
6. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
7. 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).
8. Use a large knife to slice the dough into three equal portions. Cut diagonally to produce 6 triangular slices of dough.
9. Place on prepared baking sheet from step 2.
10. Bake for 14–16 minutes until scones turn light brown.
11. Place on wire rack to cool.
Spiced Glaze Directions:
