Ingredients

For the Scones:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup caramel chips

For the Glaze:

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk and vanilla. Set aside.
  • Add the butter cubes to the flour and work into the dough using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Fold in the pumpkin mixture and caramel chips until just incorporated.
  • Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and form into a 9 inch round circle.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Prepare the glaze by whisking together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle the glaze on top and cut scones into wedges.

Notes

Pumpkin Pie Spice can be made by combining 4 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Store in a container in the pantry for 6 months.
