Pumpkin Scones

Pin It

I wanted to try and re-create the Starbucks type of pumpkin scone, even with the spiced glaze on top. I took the Best Scones Ever recipe and added some pumpkin and spices and they turned great, so this recipe will be a keeper. One thing to note is that you can make them as spicy as you want, up the spices until they are tuned into your taste buds. I went fairly easy on the spices for my trial run, next time I will probably add more because I love everything spicy.

Scone Ingredients:

1/3 cup of sour cream

1/3 tsp baking soda

1 cup of pumpkin

4 cups of flour

1 cup of white sugar

1 cup of margarine or butter

1 egg

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp ginger

1 tsp salt

Kick the tires & light the fires to 350 degrees.

Spicy Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

2 tablespoons whole milk

For the spicy glaze, take all your ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Once the scones are cool, drizzle on top, or use a ziploc bag with the corner cut out and use that to decorate them.
