How To Make mini pumpkin scones

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices in a large bowl.
  • Step 2
    To the dry ingredients, begin grating the butter. Stir to ensure that all butter is coated with the flour mixture.
  • Step 3
    In a new bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, half and half and egg. When ready, use a spatula to fold the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients.
  • Step 4
    Sprinkle a clean surface with flour. Knead dough 4-5 times, then divide in half and form each dough ball into a 1/2 in thick round. Slice each into 8 pieces to form your scones.
  • Step 5
    Place on 2 baking sheets that pave been lined with parchment. Bake for 10-14 minutes, just until the tops begin to brown. Cool on rack.
  • Step 6
    GLAZE: Whisk powdered sugar and milk together. Brush on each scone and let set.
  • Step 7
    SPICE GLAZE: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and spices. This one you will want to drizzle - not brush - over the top of each scone. Allow to set.
