These scones are called "Pumpkin Spicy" for a reason! With extra clove and cinnamon added, they are full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I’ve created this recipe to be easy, so it doesn’t require cold butter like traditional scones— I know, BLASPHEMY! I also just toss everything into my mixer—no need for separate bowls for wet and dry ingredients. I’m breaking all the rules with this one! The result is an almost coffee-cake-like treat that I’m totally into, and I hope you are too. Enjoy!
*If you'd like to add sourdough discard that is an option. Just add a bit of additional flour to adjust for consistency. I recommend only adding about 1/4 cup discard so it doesn't alter the taste too much.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar (+ bit extra for sprinkling on top)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 large egg (+ 1 egg for an egg wash)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pumpkin Spice Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pumpkin spice
2-3 tablespoons milk
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or by hand, whisk together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract and whisk again.
Pour in the flour, baking powder, salt, and all the spices, trying your best to sprinkle them evenly around the bowl since we skipped a pre-mix of the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 2: Shaping the Scones
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.
Shape the dough into a circle and pat it down to about 1-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 6 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Baking
Brush the scones with a bit of egg and sprinkle some sugar on top for extra sweetness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly while you make the glaze.
Step 4: Glaze
Mix the powdered sugar and pumpkin spice together with a fork.
Add the milk. The more milk you use, the easier it will be to drizzle on.
Pour or spoon the glaze onto your scones.
