Ingredients
Scones
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1/8 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin
- 2 Tbsp low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Dice butter into 1/2-inch pieces; sprinkle over flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut in evenly until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Whisk together pumpkin, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in just until incorporated. Use a floured bench scraper to scrape dough out onto prepared baking sheet; flour hands and pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Score into 12 wedges with floured bench scraper.
- Bake 16 to 17 minutes, until golden. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, then carefully transfer to wire rack to cool before slicing into wedges.
- To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set rack with scones over a piece of wax paper and drizzle with glaze; let set before serving.
- If not serving scones immediately, store unglazed in an airtight container up to 2 days and glaze just before serving.
