Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup very cold salted butter, diced or grated
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk (or milk), plus extra for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons buttermilk (or milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until combined.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gently stir in the pumpkin purée, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  5. Freeze the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 15 minutes while preheating your oven to 425°F.
  6. Brush the tops with buttermilk and bake for 13-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
  7. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with buttermilk and vanilla until smooth; drizzle over cooled scones.
