Pumpkin Scone Recipe

October 15, 2009

Pumpkin Scone Recipe @createdbydiane #betterthanstarbucks
 
 
 
It’s PUMPKIN time of year!
Yes, that should be the official name of this time of year.
 
Have you ever had a pumpkin scone from the coffee house we all know and love?
If you have and wished you could make them yourself, then you’re in for a treat.
I have been told MANY times that these scones are even better than theirs.
 
Here is my  SECRET recipe for Starbucks Pumpkin Scones
 
This is a true WINNER, print it let’s get baking!
 
I make batch after batch of these beauties and they are always devoured.
They smell amazing and I just love how pretty the frosting is all speckled with pumpkin goodness.
Fall is such a great time of year, I can’t wait for it to cool off a bit.
Fresh baked apple pies, pumpkin desserts and then add in some hot apple cider or hot cocoa….sounds perfect!
 
 
These aren’t just great in the fall, pumpkin can be enjoyed ANYTIME.
 
Scones are not just for breakfast. These are great for snacking, dessert, oh yes and midnight snacking.
 
You can ice them in any color you prefer, if you don’t color it will be a slightly off white color with specs of cinnamon and other spices.
But for Fall, I really love the ORANGE!

Ingredients
Pumpkin Scones
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 Tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pumpkin Icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • (orange Americolor food coloring)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in butter with a pastry knife, until mixture is crumbly with no chunks of butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, and egg.
  5. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and form into a ball.
  6. Pat out dough onto lightly floured surface and form into a 1-inch thick rectangle
  7. (about 9 inches long and 3inches wide)
  8. Divide into three sections and then make each section into two triangles.
  9. Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheets for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. (10 minutes for small scones)
  10. Scones should begin to turn light brown, let cool on a rack.
Pumpkin Icing
  1. Mix powdered sugar and milk together with spices and apply to scones when cooled. I applied the first coat of icing then colored the rest orange and drizzled over the tops.

    I’m used to Starbucks in Houston, Texas. What I appreciate most about chain stores is that you know how good or bad your expectations are. I like Starbucks in New York, Boise or Midwestern cities.

Now I can make them any time I like thanks to your great-tasting recipe, they are way better than Starbucks, I’ve made them twice already.
