A delicious and easy recipe for pumpkin scones topped with a rich maple glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/3–1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for glaze)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp salt (for glaze)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp vanilla (for glaze)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • heavy cream, for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and all spices together.
  2. Add in the cold butter. Using a fork or pastry cutter work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add in the egg, pumpkin, vanilla, and buttermilk. Start with 1/3 cup buttermilk. If the dough is too dry, add in the remaining buttermilk, a Tbsp at a time. Gently mix the dough together.
  4. Once the dough has come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle, about 1/2” thick. Cut into 8 triangles.
  5. Brush tops with heavy cream and bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes.
  6. On low heat, melt butter and maple syrup together in a small pot. Once melted, remove from heat. Sift powdered sugar into the butter/maple syrup and whisk until smooth. Add the salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk. Let the glaze sit for a few minutes to thicken.
  7. When the scones are done, drizzle a little maple glaze on each. Let the glaze set for a couple of minutes. Then, drizzle a second layer of maple glaze on top.
  8. Serve.
