Ingredients

Scale

Scone Ingredients

  • 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 butter, very cold, 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 additional powdered sugar if 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh milled soft white wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice. Mix these together evenly to distribute the leavening agent and spices throughout the flour.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Grate the very cold butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring there are no large clumps, similar in texture to pie crust or biscuit dough.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, half and half, and the large egg until fully combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet pumpkin mixture to the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently and mix only until just combined to avoid over-working the dough, which can make the scones tough.
  6. Shape Dough: Dust a clean counter lightly with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Pat and form the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal triangular wedges.
  7. Bake the Scones: Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the scones turn golden brown on top.
  8. Cool: Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before applying the glaze.
  9. Prepare Glaze: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, half and half, and arrowroot powder (or extra powdered sugar if substituting). Mix until the glaze is smooth with a slightly runny but thick consistency.
  10. Glaze the Scones: Once the scones have fully cooled, brush or drizzle the glaze evenly over the tops. Allow the glaze to set before proceeding.
  11. Prepare Spiced Pumpkin Drizzle: In a clean bowl, mix together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and half and half until smooth with no lumps. Spoon the mixture into a ziplock bag, cut off a small corner, and use as a piping bag to drizzle over the glazed scones.
  12. Serve: Allow the drizzle to set briefly, then serve and enjoy these flavorful pumpkin scones fresh.

Notes

  • For the freshest flavor, use newly milled soft white wheat flour or a good quality all-purpose flour if unavailable.
  • If you don’t have arrowroot powder for the glaze, substitute with an equal amount of powdered sugar.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep the scones tender and flaky.
  • Use very cold butter for the best texture in the scones.
  • The pumpkin spice blend typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice, but you can adjust to taste.
  • Allow the scones and glaze to cool completely before glazing and drizzling to prevent melting and sliding.
  • Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
