Pumpkin Butter Filled Spice Glazed Pumpkin Scones

By Stacey Freeman 4 Comments

pumpkin-scones Pumpkin is everywhere, so it must be September. Starbucks brings back it’s famed pumpkin spiced latte. Pinterest is bloated with pumpkin recipes, and I’m totally fine with it. I make some pretty darn yummy pumpkin cookies (coming soon), but I wanted to try something new to kick off autumn.
scone_01 I’ve never made a scone before.  Starbucks pumpkin scones always looks so much better than they actually taste.  I love the sugary sweet frosting, but the scone is a bit harder than I prefer, even though most people would argue scones are supposed to be that way.
scone_02 I thought I could do it better, so I set out to find a killer scone recipe.  I decided to really up the pumpkin factor by adding a pumpkin butter filling.  The filling not only gave the scones a spicier kick, it imparted that ultra pumpkin flavor the scones alone were lacking.  The butter also kept the scones extremely moist, so they were a cross between a scone and a muffin in the final product, and they are unbelievably easy to make.

Glazed Pumpkin Scones with Pumpkin Butter Filling
Recipe Adapted from Inspiredtaste

Makes 12

For the Pumpkin Scones:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (1 stick of butter)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 3 tablespoons half and half
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

For Sugar Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons half and half

For Spiced Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin butter (see recipe below)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons half and half

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and all the spices together.
  3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add the butter to flour mixture and pulse 8-10 times, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, molasses, half and half, vanilla extract and egg until blended.
  5. Stir pumpkin mixture into flour and butter mixture with a spoon just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface then knead it three to four times until it comes together.
  7. Pat or use a rolling pin to roll the dough into approximately 10 inch by 7 inch rectangle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rectangle in half lengthwise then cut into 3 even pieces crosswise, making six rectangles. Now, cut each rectangle into two triangles to make 12 scones.
  8. Cut each scone in half ¾ of the way through to create a pocket for the pumpkin butter filling.  Fill each scone with 1-2 tablespoons of filling, to your liking, and then close up the pocket.  Its OK if some of the filling leaks out the side. If you want to get really fancy, you could try filling a pastry bag and filling the scones like a donut instead of slicing them to fill.
  9. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once scones have cooled, make the glazes. To make the simple sugar glaze, add sifted powdered sugar to a medium bowl then add one tablespoon of half and half. Stir then judge the consistency. If when you pick a spoon up and out of the glaze it slowly drizzles back into the glaze, it is fine. If it is too thick, add a little more half and half (a little goes a long way, here). If it is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
  11. Next, make the pumpkin spiced glaze. Combine sifted powdered sugar, pumpkin butter, and add one tablespoon of half and half. Stir and check consistency. Adjust the same way as you would the simple glaze.
  12. Dip each cooled scone directly into the simple sugar glaze then place glazed side up back onto the cooling rack.
  13. Use a spoon to drizzle the spiced glaze in a zig-zag pattern across each scone.

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
