Skip the drive-thru line and enjoy your favorite seasonal Starbucks baked good right in the comfort of your own kitchen. These copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Scones are the perfect companion to a hot cup of coffee and a brisk fall morning.
Serves 8 (serving size: 1 scone)
Ingredients:
SCONES
- 2 cups (about 8 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup (4 oz.) cold butter, cut into 1/2-in. cubes
- ⅓ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ⅔ cup plus 2 Tbsp. heavy cream, divided
VANILLA GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
PUMPKIN SPICE DRIZZLE
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves
Instructions:
Mix all dry ingredients together for scones. Then cut in butter (cold and cut into cubes) with pastry blade or forks. Put bowl into freezer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile blend the pumpkin and cream (minus the 2 T.) Note: I added/subbed 1/2 Tsp vanilla into cream total measurement. Pour pumpkin/cream mixture into dry ingredients and mix until combined into a dry dough that sticks together.
Turn dough out onto wax paper; gently press or pat dough into a 7-inch round (mixture will be crumbly). Cut round into 8 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops of wedges with remaining 2 tablespoons cream just until moistened.
Bake at 450 for 13-15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack, and cool 5 minutes.
Prepare the Vanilla Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of cream, and vanilla until smooth. Add up to 1 tablespoon cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Drizzle: Whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, cream, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of Vanilla Glaze on each scone, and drizzle with Pumpkin Spice Drizzle. Serve warm or room temperature.
