📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt until evenly combined.
baking powder1 tablespoonground cinnamon2 teaspoonsoptional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamonpumpkin pie spice2 teaspoons
2
Cut in the butter. Add the diced butter and use a pastry cutter or two forks (or a food processor, see below) to cut the butter evenly into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter forms no larger than pea-sized chunks.
3
Add in the wet ingredients. Add in the pumpkin purée, milk and vanilla extract. Then use a spatula to quickly and gently stir the mixture until no dry streaks remain. (Try to avoid over-mixing.)

4
Shape the scones. Turn the mixture out onto a flour-dusted surface and fold the dough over on itself a few times until it holds together and can form a ball. (The dough will be a bit sticky, so don't worry.) Pat the dough down flat into an 8-inch circle. Then use a large knife or bench scraper to slice the dough into 8 equal-sized pie wedges. (You may need to wipe off your knife between slices if the dough is sticky.)
5
Chill. Transfer the wedges to a parchment-covered baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Then transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for ⏱️ 15 minutes or so while your oven heats. Heat the oven to 425°F.
6
Bake. Briefly brush the top of each scone with a bit of buttermilk. Then transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for ⏱️ 13-15 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through. Transfer to a wire baking rack to cool.
7
Glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until combined. (If the mixture seems too thin, add more powdered sugar.) Then once the scones have cooled a bit, brush or drizzle the glaze on top of the scones. Serve and enjoy!
