These Pumpkin Scones are:
Full of warm pumpkin spice flavors Taste like they are fresh from a bakery! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, a snack, dessert…err, whenever you want! Delicately crumbly (but never dry) Made with the best glaze (2 glazes to be exact!) The ultimate Fall treat
Pumpkin: be sure to use 100% pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix which contains additional sugar and additional spices. 100% pumpkin allows you to control the flavors of your cookie. Sour Cream: Sour cream adds moisture to the scones without making it too wet, which helps to create a tender and flaky texture. The acidity in sour cream also helps to break down gluten in the flour, preventing the scones from becoming tough and ensuring they stay soft and crumbly. Buttermilk: buttermilk is a great tenderizer for scones and adds to the yummy flavor. Heavy cream: you’ll need heavy cream to make the glaze. All purpose flour: Ensure accurate measurement by spooning the flour into the measuring cup and leveling it off. Too much flour can make the scones dry and dense. You can also make these scones using a combination of all purpose flour and cake flour for an ultra tender scone. Baking powder: make sure your baking powder is fresh so your scones get a beautiful rise. Cold butter: Cut into cubes. Cubing the cold butter makes it easier to cut into the flour mixture. The cold butter helps with the rise of the scones, along with being responsible for the crisp edges, golden brown top, and wonderful buttery flakiness.
