Description

Perfect with a warm mug of tea, coffee or hot cider, these gluten free pumpkin spice sones are soft, buttery and so festive for fall.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Set aside 2 sheets of parchment paper and a rolling pin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking soda and powder, salt, brown sugar, and pumpkin spice.
  3. Using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-size crumbs form.
  4. Using a spatula, fold in the pumpkin, egg, and almond milk. Stir until just combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Cut carefully into 8 triangles. Place the parchment with the dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
