Description

Tender, flaky, and packed with autumn spices, these maple pumpkin scones are topped with a decadent maple glaze perfect for breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, frozen and grated
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1 tablespoon heavy cream (for glaze)


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
Step 3: Add the grated frozen butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently knead 2-3 times to bring it together, and pat into an 8-inch disk.
Step 7: Cut the disk into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Step 8: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the scones cool on a wire rack.
Step 9: Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and cream to create the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled scones and let set before serving.

Notes

Always use cold butter and do not overwork the dough for the flakiest texture.
