Fall is amazing and part of this amazingness is all things pumpkin… Pumpkin pie, pumpkin carving, pumpkin seeds, and of course pumpkin scones! Pumpkin scones get their deliciousness from pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice! These scones are topped with a perfectly light, sugary glaze!
You all know how much I love breakfast. These scones are just another wonderful item to make me happy! You might be tempted to not add the glaze, but I made them once without the glaze….the glaze is needed. These aren’t a sweet scone and the sweetness from the glaze brings out all the flavors in the scone. 
This is a super sticky dough. I’ve tried my regular method of forming a disc and the cutting into wedges. It just didn’t work. I finally figured the best way to deal with this dough is using an ice cream scooper and dropping mounds onto parchment paper.
Pumpkin scones are perfect for breakfast or with tea
- 2 1/2 Cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream
-
In a bowl mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
-
Cut butter into small pieces, add to flour mixture
-
Blend until mixture resembles small pea like crumbles
-
In a separate bowl mix pumpkin puree and eggs
-
Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture. Stir just util incorporated.
-
Use a medium sized ice cream scoop and scoop batter onto a sprayed pan or a pan lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
-
To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir. Continue adding milk until desired consistency. Once scones are cooled, drizzle glaze over top.

November 2, 2015 at 5:36 pmI’ll take anything pumpkin and these scones sound awesome! I love the ice cream scoop method. Why would I ever choose to leave the glaze off? No way!

November 3, 2015 at 6:15 amYou could just eat the glaze all by itself….but it’s better on the scone!

November 2, 2015 at 5:43 amYou know what? Drop scones are some of my favorites anyways! I’ve tried both kinds, but I always end up going back to my drop scone recipe. I love the pumpkin addition here…sounds perfect for the season!
