Servings: 12 small scones 1x
Ingredients
Scones:
- 1½ cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour
- 1/3 cup organic sugar (may sub coconut sugar)
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 6 Tbsp. Organic Valley unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large Organic Valley egg (or 1 flax egg for egg-free or egg-replacer)
- 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. Organic Valley Grassmilk plain yogurt (not Greek-style)
Optional Glaze:
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 Tbsp. Organic Valley heavy cream, half & half or whole milk
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- Pinch of pumpkin pie spice
- Optional chopped pecans for sprinkling (omit for nut-free)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk to combine.
- Using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
- In a small bowl, combine pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla and yogurt. Whisk to combine.
- Add pumpkin mixture to dry flour mixture and stir with a large spoon until dough comes together in a soft, smooth ball.
- Using lightly floured hands, divide dough into 2 pieces, shaping each into a ball using a very light touch.
- Place dough a lightly floured surface and using your hands, gently flatten the balls into 2 disks, about ¾-inch thick. Cut each disk into 6 wedges with a knife or bench scraper.
- Transfer wedges to parchment-lined baking sheet spacing them out so they have room on all sides to expand slightly (this also prevents them from being doughy inside).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned and tops appear slightly dry and cracked. Remove from oven, transfer scones to a wire rack to cool before icing.
- To make icing, whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled or slightly warm scones and sprinkle with pecans (if using) before serving.
- Store leftover scones in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
