Making the scones

  • In a bowl of a food processor or mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar. Pulse or whisk to blend.
  • Add the butter and with a pastry blender cut in the butter, or is using a food processor pulse until the butter is the size of peas.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the pumpkin, egg and milk. Whisk to combine. Pour the flour and butter mixture over the liquid ingredients and mixing using a spoon or spatula. Once the dough comes together turn out onto the counter and gently knead to make sure all the dough is combined.
  • Place on parchment paper and shape into a dome about 8 inches in diameter. Make 4 slices to cut into equal wedges. Separate and place the parchment paper on the sheet pan. Place in the freezer.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F, 200°C or gas mark 6.
  • Place the sheet pan on the center rack and cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted through the side comes out clean.
  • Place on a cooling rack.

Making the glazes

  • In a bowl mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice blend together.
  • In another bowl combine the remaining ½ cup of powdered sugar, ½ tablespoon milk, and vanilla together.

Glazing the scones

  • Once the scones are cool gently spoon or pipe the pumpkin flavored glaze over the top of the scones. Spread to make sure they are evenly coated.
  • In another bag add the vanilla glaze and with a back and forth motion drizzle the glaze on top.
