These scones are so moist and tasty. Wonderful for breakfast or tea time.
Serves: 16 scones
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Heaping tablespoon pumpkin pie spice*
  • ½ cup cold butter (1 stick)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 Tbsp molasses
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • Pumpkin spice glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1-2 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Cut the butter into the flour mixture and mix with a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles course crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, molasses, heavy cream, egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour and butter mixture and combine with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.
  6. Transfer the dough to a well floured surface. Knead it (if needed) until it comes together.
  7. Pat the dough into a 10 in by 7 in rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise.
  8. Working with one half at a time, pat the dough into a circle. Make sure it's not too thin. Then cut it into 4 equal pieces, cutting each piece in half so you have 8 pieces. Flour your hands and work surface as needed. Repeat the process with the other half.
  9. Place scones on parchment lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 12-13 minutes. Don't overbake.
  10. Let cool a bit then drizzle on glaze. Enjoy!
  11. For the glaze, whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.
