Coffee Shop Pumpkin Scones Recipes

STARBUCKS COPYCAT PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Give it a light dusting of flour on top of that.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, half and half cream and egg.
• Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Continue cutting until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. (You may also use a food processor for this step. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs).
• Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until the dough comes together. The dough will be wet- just go ahead and sprinkle a little more flour into the dough until it's easier to handle (you'll be working in 1/4 to 1/3 cup additional flour to get the right consistency). Remember, you want it to be somewhat sticky, and that's okay- but you also don't want it to stick to the baking sheet. Pat out the dough onto the lightly floured baking sheet and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle that is about 9-inches long and 5-inches wide. Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough in half horizontally. Cut 5 triangles on one side and 5 on the other. Gently pull the triangles apart, leaving about ½-inch space between each one.
• Bake 14 to 16 minutes on the prepared baking sheet. The scones should begin to turn light brown.
• When the scones are cool, use a knife to cut them apart and then pull them apart so that they are ready for the icing.
• Prepare the icing by whisking the icing ingredients together in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Spoon the icing into a zip baggie and snip the corner. Squeeze the baggie and drizzle the icing over each scone and allow the icing to set before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons white sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger in a food processor. Add butter 1 tablespoonful at a time; mix until dough is crumbly.
• Whisk pumpkin, eggs, and 6 tablespoons milk together in a bowl. Fold pumpkin mixture into dough in the food processor; blend until a dough forms.
• Shape dough into a ball and pat out on a lightly floured surface. Split the dough in half repeatedly to make 12 equal portions. Shape portions into pie-shaped pieces by hand, about 3/4-inch thick each. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Combine confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 pinch cloves, and 1 pinch ginger in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Drizzle icing over scones in a zigzag pattern. Let dry before serving, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Mix pumpkin, egg, and half-and-half together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until combined. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut dough into pizza-like wedges and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl; drizzle over scones.

PUMPKIN SCONES WITH COFFEE GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to combine. Add the butter pieces, then use a pastry cutter to work the butter and dry ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a second bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, cream and eggs. Pour into the flour mixture, stirring gently, until it all comes together into a dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a cutting board or floured surface and use your hands to press it into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle about 15 inches by 3 inches. Cut into 12 equal triangular wedges.
• Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the extra cream and bake until poufy, set and just barely golden, 20 to 23 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the icing: Sift the powdered sugar, then combine with the coffee and butter in a large bowl. Make sure the icing is thick but still pourable; add a splash more coffee if needed to thin.
• Spoon a very generous amount of the icing onto each scone and sprinkle each with the pumpkin pie spice. Allow the icing to set, about 10 minutes. The scones can be served at once or stored in airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
