Ingredients

  • 2 cups of all-purpose baking flour that is gluten-free and of high quality, like Cup4Cup™ blend
  • ½ cup of light brown sugar that is tightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder that is gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon that is ground
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of nutmeg that is ground
  • ½ teaspoon of ginger that is ground
  • ½ teaspoon of cloves that is ground
  • 1 stick of butter that is frozen
  • ½ cup of pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup of heavy cream
  • 1 egg that is fresh
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons of heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw®
  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup of confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper for easy clean-up and non-stick baking magic.

Step 2

In a generous-sized mixing bowl, unite flour, rich brown sugar, a hint of baking powder, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of baking soda, a pinch of salt, a touch of nutmeg, a hint of ginger, and a whisper of cloves. Take a frozen stick of butter and grate it into the flour mixture, merging them with a pastry blender until the flour transforms into a delightful crumbly texture with petite pea-sized crumbs scattered throughout.

Step 3

In another bowl, blend together the vibrant pumpkin puree, a splash of heavy cream, a single egg, and a drop of vanilla extract. Combine this luscious mixture with the crumbly flour blend until a soft, cohesive dough forms.

Step 4

Lightly dust your countertop and hands with a sprinkle of flour, then gently transfer the dough onto the surface. Mold it into a charming, petite rectangle about an inch thick, slightly smaller than a standard sheet of paper. Cut this lovely dough into two halves with a knife or a playful pizza cutter, then slice each half into six delightful triangles. Place these adorable triangles onto the awaiting baking sheet. Give them a gentle brush with a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream and a sprinkle of coarse sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.

Step 5

Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the scones bake until they acquire a delightful light brown hue, which usually takes around 15 minutes. Once ready, let them cool gracefully on a wire rack.

Step 6

As the scones cool down, prepare a decadent glaze by whisking together confectioners' sugar, a drizzle of heavy cream, a hint of vanilla extract, and a touch of pumpkin pie spice in a bowl until it achieves a smooth, luxurious consistency. Transfer this divine glaze into a small resealable plastic bag, snip off a corner, and artfully drizzle it over the cooled scones for an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize Mason jars for storing gluten-free flour and other dry ingredients. Their airtight seal will keep your ingredients fresh and easily accessible for when the pumpkin scone cravings hit.
  2. 2. Organize your baking tools and utensils in a decorative wicker basket to keep them within reach while adding a rustic touch to your kitchen decor.
