Scroll down and see the step by step instructions and enjoy these lovely buttery scones.

Comfort Food

My opinion on scones is a buttery biscuit or quick bread that is far above any other type of breakfast treat to eat.


I love them with fruits baked in or a fall pumpkin spiced flavor like this one.


It's a comfort food I love especially on the go when leaving for work.

Do You Love Pumpkin Season?

These Pumpkin Scones are moist, tender and perfectly glazed!


The turning pretty leaves and colors, cool fresh air, brings the best out in baking pumpkin recipes.


This is one recipe good anytime of the year, but shouts Fall all the way while baking and the smell of fresh cinnamon fills the house with homemade warmth and goodness!

Soft Pumpkin Batter

These pumpkin scones are the best.


We just love them.


We add lots of pumpkin and fall spices to the dough and they have not one, but three options for toppings.


One is a simple white glaze and the other, powdered sugar or a pumpkin spice glaze that gets drizzled on top.

Suggestions

If you aren't big on sugar and sweet breakfast treats, leave them plain and just add a little butter spread on top.


These will warm you up in the morning and goes great with an afternoon tea.


The scones are great buttered or with jam also, we love apple jelly!


The kids love them sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and not glazed.

Tips

The trick to making the best scones is cold butter.


If the butter isn’t cold, you’re done before you even get started.


It’s the cold bits of butter in scones that makes them tender.


For the lightest scones, opt for using pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour.


Overworking the dough will lead to scones that are tough and chewy, rather than light and flaky.


The key is to use a light hand and work the dough until it just comes together.


Cut the scone dough into wedges, place them on a baking sheet, and keep them in the fridge while the oven preheats.


Make sure to use a very sharp knife for cutting

Pumpkin Everything

We love pumpkin everything, you will find below many of our favorite recipes if you're a big pumpkin fan like we are.


This Breakfast Pumpkin Scones with Spiced Glaze is one we love to kick off the fall with during the pumpkin season.


Scones really are best when they are fresh and warm from the oven and not made ahead of time.


You can make these scones all year long by freezing pumpkin purée in measured portions.


I have tried this scone recipe with canned pumpkin, which makes a good substitute.

During the Year

As I said before during the year you can enjoy these breakfast pumpkin scones if you just make the fresh pumpkin puree and freeze it.


I put the pumpkin puree in freezer bags with the measured 1/2 cup needed in the recipe, label them and viola, ready anytime all year long.


I really love scones and have made several kinds.


Blueberry Almond Scones are still favorites or my whole wheat blueberry scones.


I also love my cranberry orange recipe for scones.

Breakfast Pumpkin Scones with Spiced Glaze

prep time: 25 mins cook time: 15 mins total time: 40 mins

These are a homemade from scratch pumpkin baked scone with a delicious pumpkin spiced glaze on top

ingredients:

2 cups pastry flour or  all-purpose flour

7 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon ground jar nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

6 tablespoons cold butter

1/2 cup fresh homemade pumkin puree or canned pumpkin

3 Tablespoons heavy cream , half and half or milk

1 large egg

Plain Powdered Sugar Glaze :

1 cup powdered sugar

2 Tablespoons water

Spiced Powdered Sugar Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 Tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

instructions:

Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, so much easier and they won't stick.

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender or flat beater bar for your  heavy duty mixer to cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly in texture and resembles coarse cornmeal.

In a small bowl, stir together the pumpkin, cream add egg. Fold into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over mix.  Dough is heavy, slightly dry.

Loosely form the dough into oblong shape. Press down with floured hand into a 1-inch thick, as shown in picture.

Use a sharp knife to slice the dough to form 12 triangles.

Place each slice on prepared baking sheet and bake till browned on bottom and dry looking on top, around 12 to 15 minutes.

Let cool completely on wire rack, make glazes, alternating drying in between  brushed on glaze that's plain, then drizzle spiced one on top.

Sugar Glaze directions:

In a small bowl, mix sugar and water to flow easily to make a thick glaze.  Brush glaze over the top of each cooled scone. Let harden before proceeding to the spiced glaze directions.

Spiced Glaze Directions:

After the sugar glaze hardens, combine the spiced icing ingredients making this a little thicker to hold onto the top layer of glazed scone. Use a fork to drizzle over each scone dry before serving.
