Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients precisely. Keep the butter and cream cold. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger until evenly combined.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Form the Dough: Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Shape and Cut the Scones: Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 7-inch round disk. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
  7. Bake Until Golden: Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally brush with cream. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the Maple Glaze: While baking, stir together powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth and pourable.
  9. Glaze and Cool: Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones and let set before serving.

Notes

  • Keep butter very cold to create flaky layers.
  • Do not overmix dough to prevent tough scones.
  • If dough is too soft, chill for 15 minutes before shaping.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and even baking.
  • Brush scones with cream before baking for a golden crust.
  • Adjust spices to your taste for personalized warmth.
