Ingredients

Scale

Scone Dough

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 6 tbsp butter, frozen
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp half and half
  • 1 large egg

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a scone pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to combine thoroughly.
  3. Cut in Frozen Butter: Grate the frozen butter directly into the dry mixture using a cheese grater. Gently combine with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs without large lumps.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, half and half, and egg. Fold this wet mixture into the butter-flour mixture and mix just until combined, forming a slightly sticky dough. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender scones.
  5. Shape, Cut, and Bake Scones: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and shape into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 6 or 8 triangles. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 14–16 minutes until light brown. Let cool before glazing.
  6. Make the Cinnamon Glaze: Whisk confectioners’ sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl until smooth. Adjust milk quantity if needed to reach your desired glaze consistency. Allow glaze to thicken slightly before drizzling.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the cooled scones generously with the cinnamon glaze. Let the glaze harden before serving. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin cinnamon scones!

Notes

  • Use frozen butter for a flaky scone texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep scones tender and light.
  • Pumpkin puree adds moisture and a rich autumn flavor; canned or homemade puree works well.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more or less milk.
  • These scones are best served fresh on the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat briefly in a warm oven to refresh texture before serving if stored.
