Pumpkin Scones Recipe

These pumpkin scones are light, flaky and buttery. The orange icing pairs beautifully with the pumpkin flavor in these scones.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • .
  • For Orange Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tbsp. orange juice

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

  3. Cut butter into little chunks. With a pastry blender or two knives, work butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour into flour mixture. Stir until it becomes a soft, crumbly dough.

  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead several times. Add a tablespoon or two of flour if dough is too sticky.

  6. Pat dough into an oval, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles. Place triangles on prepared baking sheet. Bake 13-15 minutes until golden.

  7. Let scones cool completely.

  8. Make icing: Stir together powdered sugar and enough orange juice to make an icing you can drizzle over the scones. When scones are completely cool, drizzle with icing.
