Starbucks Pumpkin Scones

I've never really been a scones girl, but these are wonderful! It is perfect with a nice cup of coffee or tea. :) [Thank you pinterest]


You will need:
Scones
2 cups all purpose flour
7 tbs sugar
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
6 tbs cold butter
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3 tbs half & half
1 large egg

White Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbs powdered sugar
2 tbs milk

Spicy Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbs powdered sugar
2 tbs milk
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch ground cloves

Scone directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half & half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

Form the dough into a ball.

4. Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch think rectangle.

 Use a large knife or pizza dough cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, equal portions.

Cut those slices diagonally so that you have triangular slices of dough. Place on baking sheet.

5. Bake for 14-16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown.

Place on wire rack to cool.

White Glaze directions:
1. Mix the powdered sugar [1 C & 1 tbs] & 2 tbs milk together, until smooth.
2. After scones are cool, spread glaze over the scones.

Spice Icing directions:
1. Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 3 tbs powdered sugar, 2 tbs milk, & spices together.
2. Place icing in a baggie, cut the tip of the baggie and begin to drizzle over the scone.




Enjoy!!
