These pumpkin scones are a new fall favorite in our house, based on an oat scone recipe and a pumpkin scone similar to that from a well-known coffee shop.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- ¾ cup pumpkin pur?e
- 2 tablespoons cold milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
- 1 dash ground cinnamon, or to taste
- 1 pinch ground ginger
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk flour, oats, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and cloves together in a mixing bowl. Cut cold butter into mixture with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs the size of peas or smaller. Whisk pumpkin pur?e, 2 tablespoons cold milk, egg, and vanilla together in a small bowl; fold into flour mixture until just blended.
Step 3
Divide dough into two sections on a lightly floured surface. Gather each into a ball and knead about 10-12 times. Flatten balls to 1/2-inch thickness on a nonstick baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between rounds. Cut rounds into sixths with a butter knife, but do not separate wedges.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms and edges are just golden brown, 12 to 16 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 5
While scones cool, mix confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, remaining pinch of ginger, and dash of cinnamon together in a small bowl. Add more milk to thin frosting as needed. Pour frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Snip off a corner of the bag and drizzle icing over the cooled scones in a zig-zag fashion. The icing will harden as it cools.
Tips
It's unclear whether quick-cooking oats would work; try them at your own risk!
