PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt together.
• Add the butter: Grate the frozen butter using a box grater, then add it to the flour mixture bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, combine the butter with the flour mixture. If you want to add other ingredients such as chocolate chips or chopped pecans, now's the time.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients: In another bowl whisk the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla together. Pour this over the flour mixture and mix it all together until everything appears moistened.
• Form the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface and knead it a couple times until it comes together. Don't over-knead. Form the dough in 2 disks that are ¾-inch (2 cm) in thickness and cut each disk into 8 equal smaller scones, or you can form it in one disk and make 8 larger scones.
• Bake: Transfer the scones onto the prepared baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart. Brush the scones with milk and sprinkle some sugar on top. If topping them with glaze, you can skip the sugar. Transfer the pans to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until you stick a toothpick down the middle of a scone and it comes out clean.
• Glaze and Enjoy: Make the glazes, by whisking all the ingredients for each glaze in a bowl. Drizzle over warm scones.

BEST PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F (Conventional) or 400F (Convection/Fan). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour (or flours if using AP + Whole Wheat), Granulated Sugar, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Baking Powder.
• Cut the butter into 1/2″ cubes, and, using a pastry cutter, 2 knives or your fingers, cut it in until the butter bits are nicely incorporated and of small, but varying sizes (See Photo).
• Stir in chocolate chips, and nuts, if using.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk and eggs.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until the dough is thick, slightly sticky and there are no large streaks of flour left. If the dough feels too thick, or you still see large streaks of flour, you could add another tablespoon or two of Buttermilk to it.
• Divide the dough into two equal parts - and place each half on top of floured, parchment-covered baking sheet - you could use two separate baking sheets but you can likely fit them on 1. Shape and flatten each into an approximately 6-inch disc about 3/4″-1″ thick. Brush each disc with milk or cream (not totally necessary, but it adds some nice sheen). Then, using a large sharp knife or a bench scraper, dipped into cold water, cut each circle into 6 relatively equal sections.
• Gently and carefully pull the sections apart, maintaining a disc shape, on the pan. You can keep them in the circle shape, with about 1/2 - 3/4″ space between the sections, or further apart, just know mine baked faster when pulled further apart. Place prepared pan, with scones, in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will allow the scones to rise more during the bake!
• Bake in preheated oven until dark golden around the edges, and an inserted tester is clean. This should take 19-25 minutes. If they were closer, (1/2″), 22-25 minutes. In my oven, where scones were about 1-inch apart, this took 19 minutes. Once you start smelling their wonderful aroma, just check them every minute or two. Once they look nicely golden, start testing with your tester -( I used a toothpick). They should feel very light if you pick one up. Let cool a few minutes on the pan, then remove to a cooling rack.
• After 10-15 minutes, while still warm, drizzle with Salted Brown Sugar Glaze, if desired.
• Whisk all ingredients together. If Cream cheese is not nicely softened, just a 10-30 seconds at "Defrost" in the microwave will get it there. If it seems too thin, add a bit more confectioners sugar. If it seems too thick, add a bit more buttermilk or cream.
• Drizzle or spoon over scones 10 minutes after they come out of the oven, or it's fine to wait until fully cooled, too. You may have extra glaze.
• Scones are best the same day they are baked. To keep leftover scones fresh, store in airtight container, or freeze and defrost for longer-term keeping.

PUMPKIN SCONES {STARBUCKS COPYCAT}

Steps:

• For the scones:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor pulse together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, brown sugar and granulated sugar until well blended (if you don't have a food processor you can whisk by hand in a large mixing bowl, then cut in butter with a pastry cutter). Add butter and pulse mixture several times to cut butter into mixture (large pieces of butter should no longer be visible). Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and create a well in center.
• In a bowl whisk together chilled pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract and honey. Pour mixture into well in flour/butter mixture. Stir mixture with a wooden spoon to incorporate, then knead in bowl (or on work surface) by hand several times to bring mixture together. Dust a work surface with flour then invert dough onto surface. Pat and shape dough into an even 8-inch round. Using a large knife, slice into 8 equal wedges (dust knife with flour as needed while cutting, it will be fairly sticky).
• Transfer scones to a Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 Tbsp half and half then bake in preheated oven 13 - 15 minutes until tops are golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and cool 10 minutes (no longer) before spreading with glaze.
• For the glaze:
• In a mixing bowl whisk together powdered sugar and half and half, adding more half and half as needed to reach desired consistency (it should be fairly thick not runny). Spoon and spread mixture scones to evenly coat tops (use all of it). Let glaze set at room temperature.
• For the pumpkin glaze:
• In a mixing bowl (I just used the one from the glaze above without cleaning out) whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and half and half. Transfer mixture to a small Ziploc bag, seal bag, cut a small tip from corner and drizzle mixture over tops of scones. Allow icing to set. Best served day prepared.

BEST EVER STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg and whipping cream with a fork. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves with a wire whisk.
• Cut the cold butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture.
• Using your hands, pick up a handful of the flour mixture and butter cubes and rub your hands together only once before dropping the mixture back into the bowl. Repeat this process until all the butter has turned into thin sheets distributed throughout the flour mixture.
• Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour and butter mixture and mix together with a rubber spatula gently until it's mixed about half way.
• Dump the half-mixed dough onto a floured work surface. Using your hands, pick up half the dough and fold it over the other half. Continue working the dough in this folding motion, very gently, until almost all the flour is incorporated. As you do this, slowly create a round shape about 2 inches thick.
• Slice the round dough into 8 triangular pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for about 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the scones have puffed up slightly and are firm to the touch. If the scones start to brown on top, remove them from the oven so they don't over-bake.
• Let the scones cool on the pan for a few minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• While the scones are cooling, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and whipping cream in a medium bowl. Add the powdered sugar first and whisk while adding the whipping cream one tablespoon at a time until a thick glaze forms.
• Divide the glaze into 2 separate bowls. Leave one bowl aside (this will be the white glaze) and to the second bowl add the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and whisk to combine (this will be the spice glaze).
• When the scones are cool, dip them upside down into the white glaze until the glaze coats the top of the scones.
• Set on a plate or cooling rack and let the glaze dry for about 5 minutes.
• Add the spice glaze to a small piping bag or ziploc bag and snip off the end. Pipe the spice glaze on top of the white glaze to create a lined pattern, or any pattern you wish.
• Discard any remaining glaze and allow the scones to sit for about 15 minutes before enjoying, so the glaze can harden just slightly.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or enjoy them while they're fresh for best results!

PUMPKIN SPICE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour in a bowl and coarsely grate in the butter (dipping the butter into the flour can make it easier to grate; do this as often as you need). Use a butter knife to stir the butter into the flour, then mix in the sugar and spice.
• Add the pumpkin and 80ml milk to the flour mixture and quickly stir everything together. Add more milk if you need to.
• Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and lightly bring together with your hands a couple of times. Roll out until 4cm thick and stamp out rounds with a 7cm cutter. Re-shape the trimmings until all the dough has been used. Place the rounds on a lightly floured baking sheet and brush the tops with any remaining milk. Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly browned.

MOIST PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin and 1/2 cup milk. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Divide dough in half. Pat each portion into an 8-in. circle; cut each into 8 wedges. Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Brush with remaining milk. , Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks; cool for 10 minutes. Combine the glaze ingredients; drizzle over scones. Serve warm.

PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt until evenly combined.
• Add the diced butter and use a pastry cutter or two forks (or a food processor, see below) to cut the butter evenly into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter forms no larger than pea-sized chunks.
• Add in the pumpkin purée, milk and vanilla extract. Then use a spatula to quickly and gently stir the mixture until no dry streaks remain. (Try to avoid over-mixing.)
• Turn the mixture out onto a flour-dusted surface and fold the dough over on itself a few times until it holds together and can form a ball. (The dough will be a bit sticky, so don't worry.) Pat the dough down flat into an 8-inch circle. Then use a large knife or bench scraper to slice the dough into 8 equal-sized pie wedges. (You may need to wipe off your knife between slices if the dough is sticky.)
• Transfer the wedges to a parchment-covered baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Then transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for 15 minutes or so while your oven heats. Heat the oven to 425°F.
• Briefly brush the top of each scone with a bit of buttermilk. Then transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through. Transfer to a wire baking rack to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until combined. (If the mixture seems too thin, add more powdered sugar.) Then once the scones have cooled a bit, brush or drizzle the glaze on top of the scones. Serve and enjoy!
