Why This Recipe Works

These pumpkin spice scones work because cold butter creates a tender, flaky texture, while pumpkin puree keeps the inside soft and moist. Milford Spice Company MiMom’s Pumpkin Pie Spice adds warm cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg flavor, and the two glazes give the scones a sweet bakery-style finish.

Make It Your Way

• For extra spice: add a small extra pinch of MiMom’s Pumpkin Pie Spice to the pumpkin icing.

• For less sweetness: use only the pumpkin icing drizzle instead of both glazes.

• For more texture: add chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough.

• For a coffee shop style finish: drizzle the pumpkin icing in thin lines across the glazed scones.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Pie Spice Scones

These scones pair well with coffee, chai, tea, hot cider, lattes, yogurt, fruit, or a fall brunch spread. They also work well as a cozy breakfast treat, holiday brunch recipe, or afternoon snack.
