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
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture and mix with a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles course crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, molasses, heavy cream, egg and vanilla extract.
Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour and butter mixture and combine with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a well floured surface. Knead it (if needed) until it comes together.
Pat the dough into a 10 in by 7 in rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise.
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.
Place scones on parchment lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 12-13 minutes. Don't overbake.
Let cool a bit then drizzle on glaze. Enjoy!
For the glaze, whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.
Notes
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use the following ingredients: 1 tsp ground cinnamon ¾ tsp ground ginger ¾ tsp ground cloves ½ tsp ground nutmeg
