Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 to 2½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
  • cups cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • cups pumpkin puree
  • 7 tablespoons cold heavy cream, divided
  • 6 tablespoons cold heavy cream, divided
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, (powdered sugar)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry blender or two forks to work it into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.
    4 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 2 to 2½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1¼ cups cold unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons baking powder
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, 6 tablespoons of heavy cream, the beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until just combined and a rough dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add an extra tablespoon of cream.
    1¾ cups pumpkin puree, 6 tablespoons cold heavy cream, 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead just until it comes together. Shape it into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 12 wedges. Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, brush the tops of the scones with the 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    7 tablespoons cold heavy cream
  • While the scones are cooling, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, the remaining 6 tablespoons of heavy cream, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more cream a little at a time.
    2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let it set for about 10 minutes before serving.
