Ingredients
Units
Scale
Scones (2 cups gluten-free AP flour)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice seasoning
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup almond milk (see tip below)
- 1 egg
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Set aside 2 sheets of parchment paper and a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking soda and powder, salt, brown sugar, and pumpkin spice.
- Using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-size crumbs form.
- Using a spatula, fold in the pumpkin, egg, and almond milk. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and dust lightly with additional flour. Top with the second sheet of parchment and roll into a round disk. You may need to use your hands a bit to form the shape.
- Cut carefully into 8 triangles. Place the parchment with the dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes.
- Make the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, pumpkin spice, and vanilla. Add more milk a little at a time until the glaze reaches a drizzle consistency.
- Remove scones from oven and let cool. Drizzle with the glaze. Best eaten the same day.
Tip: If using a heavier gluten-free flour blend, start with 3 tablespoons of milk and add more one tablespoon at a time if needed.
Notes
Cold butter is key for flaky scones — if the dough starts to feel warm, pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes before rolling. These are best the day they’re made, but they reheat well in a low oven for a few minutes.
