I love fall. It's such a cozy time to curl up with a bowl of soup, a good book, a hot drink, and a pumpkin scone. I have seriously fallen in love with these scones, besides the fact they are pumpkin. I've always wanted to make scones but thought they were too complicated. These are so simple though and just take a few minutes to make. If you love pumpkin, these are a great treat that you just have to make. Here's the steps:
Step 1: Make the dough
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup butter, cold and cut into cubes
Combine the pumpkin, milk, and eggs and whisk until smooth. Combine the remaining dry ingredients into a stand mixer (or regular bowl) and add butter. Mix until it's crumbly. Add the wet ingredients and mix until it forms a smooth dough.
Put the dough onto a floured surface and divide into two parts. Form the first section of dough into a 12 x 5 rectangle. The next few pictures show how to divide into 12 triangles...
Place triangles on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes. (Do the same with the other half of the dough as well)
Step 2: The glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the ingredients together, pour into a ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the corner of the bag, and drizzle!
Then enjoy one... or two... or well... enjoy!
