These pumpkin scones are incredibly soft and moist with nice crispy edges. They are finished with a vanilla AND pumpkin spice glaze on top. They are easy to make and taste even better than Starbucks’ pumpkin scones.
Why you’ll love this recipe
Easy to make – All you have to do is mix a few simple ingredients together in one bowl, knead the dough into a ball, cut into wedges, and bake. Once the scones are cooled, you dip and drizzle with some glaze, sit down, relax, and enjoy the best homemade scones of your life.
Incredible taste and texture – This pumpkin scone recipe is soft and tender on the inside and super moist like a pumpkin cake. The outer crust is nice and crispy when freshly baked. The taste and aroma is like pumpkin spice heaven – perfectly spiced with a sweet-earthy pumpkin flavor.
Even better than Starbucks! – I know that’s a big claim, but it’s true. Nothing beats freshly homemade scones. Not only can you take pride in knowing that you made them yourself, but these pumpkin scones are also even more soft, moist, and flavorful than the Starbucks ones.
