How to make Pumpkin Scones with Pumpkin Spice Glaze:
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Line a large round sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, tapioca flour, maple or coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ground ginger. Whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add 1 egg, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Cube butter and add to dry ingredients. Use a dough blender to work the butter into the mixture. Use your fingertips to finish working the butter and press into the dry ingredients until well dispersed.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ones. Use a spatula to gently combine ingredients together until well blended. Make sure there aren’t any streaks of flour and dough has been created.
Working the dough:
- Take about 1 tbsp of tapioca flour and sprinkle about half of it over lined baking sheet. Use your hands to scoop the dough out of the mixing bowl. Keep using your hands to work the dough and turn it into a ball. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle some of the leftover tapioca flour on your hands to help you shape it. Place the rolled ball on the sheet pan and pat it down into a 6 inch disk. Sprinkle the rest of the tapioca flour all throughout the top of the dough disk.
- Use a dough scraper to cut disk in half 4 times to create 8 scones. Use the dough scraper to separate scones from each other. Some of the dough may get stuck to the scraper, remove it with your hands and stick it back to the scones. If some of the scones lose their shape, gently grab them and shape them back into a triangle. Use more tapioca flour if too sticky. Make sure you leave about 2 inches between each scone.
- Whisk the remaining egg. Use a pastry brush and brush each scone with egg. The egg wash will give the scones a beautiful golden shade.
- Place scones in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Making the Pumpkin Spice Glaze:
- While scones bake, in a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze until well combined and sticky glaze if formed. Place a piece of parchment paper under a cooling rack.
- Remove scones from oven, Use a spatula and carefully place scones on cooling rack. Drizzle glaze over scones. Let them sit and cool down for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
Tips and Substitutions:
- Use tapioca flour to prevent sticking- dough can get a bit sticky. Tapioca flour will help with this and make it easier to work and shape the dough.
- Coconut sugar can make scones come out darker– Coconut sugar will make baked goods look more on the brown side. This doesn’t mean that they are burnt. If you want your scones to be a lighter and more golden color, use maple sugar instead.
- Leave enough space between scones before baking– Leave at least 2 inches between scones. Leaving them too close to each other will cause them to stick together as they rise while they bake in the oven. This can cause that part of the scone to not bake through.
- Don’t skip the egg wash– Egg wash will give your scones a beautiful crisp, shiny and golden top.
- Substitute butter for coconut oil to make these scones dairy-free– The cold butter will make the scones crisp and flaky. Coconut oil can make for a great substitute if you want to make these scones dairy-free.
