Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  7. Cut the round into 8 wedges, like a pizza.
  8. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let the scones cool on a wire rack.
  11. While the scones cool, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired drizzling consistency.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks copycat scone, ensure your butter is very cold.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the dough for extra texture.
  • These scones are best enjoyed the day they are made.
