Scones
- 1 3/4 cup fresh milled soft white wheat, finely milled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 6 tbsp very cold butter, grated
- 3 tbsp half and half
- 1 large egg
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp half and half
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder (or 1/4 cup more powdered sugar if arrowroot powder is not available)
Spiced Pumpkin Drizzle
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp pure pumpkin puree
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ginger
- 2 tbsp half and half
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh milled soft white wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice. Stir well to evenly distribute all components.
- Add butter: Grate the very cold butter and incorporate it into the dry ingredients using your hands. Mix until the texture resembles a pie crust or biscuits with no large clumps remaining.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, half and half, and egg until smooth and homogenous.
- Form the dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the scones tender.
- Shape and cut scones: Dust a clean counter with flour and turn the dough onto it. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal triangular pieces.
- Bake: Arrange the scones on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and ice: Allow the scones to fully cool before applying the glaze and spiced pumpkin drizzle for best texture and flavor adherence.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is very cold for a flakier scone texture.
- Do not over-mix the dough to keep scones tender and light.
- You can substitute arrowroot powder with additional powdered sugar in the glaze if unavailable.
- Allow scones to fully cool before glazing to prevent melting the glaze.
- Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
