These homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Scones are full of warm flavors and coated in a delicious yet simple spiced cream glaze. An easy cream scone recipe for fall baking!
Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer: I used a pumpkin-flavored creamer for this recipe, but feel free to use any flavored (or unflavored) creamer you want.
Chilled Ingredients: Ensure your heavy cream and any butter or fats you use are cold. This helps achieve a flakier texture in the scone.
Gentle Mixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir just until they come together to avoid overworking the dough and ending up with tough scones.
Pre-chill Before Baking: Once your scones are shaped and on the baking sheet, pop them into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before baking. This will help solidify the fats and result in a higher rise during baking.
Flavor Enhancements: Because heavy cream is rich and has a subtle flavor, consider adding complementary flavors to your scones, like a hint of orange zest, to elevate the pumpkin spice notes.
Watch the Bake: Be attentive to the baking time. They might need a few more minutes than regular scones, but you also don't want them to dry out.
Storage: Store them in an airtight container and enjoy them within a few days for the best freshness. If storing longer, consider freezing and reheating when ready to enjoy.
