Making Perfect Pumpkin Scones With Pumpkin Glaze is straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
5. Mix Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
10. Prepare Pumpkin Glaze: While the scones are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
11. Glaze the Scones: Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones using a spoon or a piping bag for more control.
12. Serve: Enjoy your delicious scones warm, or store them in an airtight container for later.
