Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Scones
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, baking soda, and spices until well combined.
- Cut cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate measuring cup, combine pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and egg, whisking until smooth.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick, folding it into thirds.
- Cut the dough in half and form each half into a 6-inch round, slicing each round into 6 wedges.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and brush unbaked scones with egg wash.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and ground cinnamon for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and serve.

Notes
Use cold ingredients for flaky texture. Avoid overmixing to keep scones tender. Pre-cut and freeze scones for freshness.
