Pumpkin Spice Scones

Course: Dessert

Ingredients

Scones

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Cold butter cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 3 tbps Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Milk You might need a bit more
  • 1 pinch each of the above spices

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Whisk these ingredients together.
  • Add in chopped cold butter and use your fingers to work in the butter, creating a bowl of what resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add in your wet ingredients; pumpkin puree, milk, egg, vanilla and milk. Mix well with a rubber spatula until a dough forms.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and tip out your dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out your dough to make a big rectangle that is about 1 inch thick.
  • Cut your rectangle into triangles, or circles, or squares, or whatever shape you'd like your scones, really!
  • Put your scones on your lined baking tray and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until brown and delicious. Set aside.
  • To make the glaze, get a small bowl and add in your powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk. Stir it together slowly. You might need to add a few more teaspoons of milk until your glaze stays in place, but does create drip marks.
  • Take a large spoonful or two of your main, white glaze out of it's bowl and place it into another small bowl. Add a pinch of each of the spices and a dribble of milk (to even out the texture).
  • Once the scones are slightly cooled (as if they are too hot, the glaze will just melt) spoon a spoonful of white glaze on each one and help it move to the sides of your scones with the back of your spoon.
  • Drizzle on some of your spiced glaze as well.
