PUMPKIN SCONES - Ingredients: • Scones - ▢ 2 cups all purpose flour ▢ ⅓ cup brown sugar ▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder ▢ ½ teaspoon baking soda ▢ 1 teaspoon cinnamon ▢ 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice ▢ 1 egg ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt ▢ ½ cup pumpkin puree ▢ 3 tablespoons milk ▢ ½ cup butter ▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract • Glaze - ▢ 1 cup powdered sugar ▢ 2 tablespoons milk Instructions: 1) Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2) Combine the dry ingredients. Add cubed butter and use a fork to combine. 3) In second bowl add the wet ingredients. Whisk until combined. 4) Mix wet and dry ingredients. I used a stand mixer but a spoon works too. Combine until a dough ball forms. 5) Sprinkle some flour on your counter. Use your hands to make a solid ball (won’t take much) Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle, 1/2” thick. Using pizza cutter, slice the dough into triangles. 6) Place mini scones onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 7) While scones are baking, prepare your glaze. In a small bowl whisk confectioners sugar and milk until smooth. 8) Cool scones for 10 minutes. Drizzle glaze on each scone. Savor and ENJOY! LTKSeasonal LTKGiftGuide LTKHoliday
