Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cane sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add in the cold diced butter and use your hands to pinch the flour and butter together. Press the dough/butter between the palms of your hands to create flat pieces.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, vanilla extract, milk, heavy cream, and pumpkin puree. Pour this into the dry ingredients and mix together until almost combined but not completely.
- Dump out the dough onto a floured surface. Flour your hands and gently press the dough down. Using a bench scraper, lift up half the dough and fold it, gently pressing down again and incorporating some flour when you do. Re-flour the surface as the dough absorbs it. Fold the dough over another 4-5 times.
- Shape into a disk and gently pat down so it is 1" - 1 ¼” thick. Flour a sharp knife and cut into 8 triangles. Brush the tops of the scones with milk. Place each piece on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Stir together the powdered sugar and maple syrup. It should run freely from a spoon but still be somewhat thick; add a few drops of water at a time if it is too thick.
- Pull the scones from the oven and cool completely before drizzling on the glaze.

Notes
To achieve the perfect scones, ensure your butter is cold for a flaky texture. Handle the dough gently to avoid tough scones, and remember that a little dough sticking to your hands is okay—it means they’ll be wonderfully moist.
