Pumpkin Spiced Latte Scones
Your favourite coffee shop treats, combined into one delicious scone! This Pumpkin Spiced Latte Scone recipe is quick and easy, drizzled with a delicious espresso glaze.
Servings: 12 scones
Equipment
- 2 sheet pans
- parchment paper or silicone mats
- pastry blender
- mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted butter cold, cubed
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
Espresso glaze
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-1/2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- Add cold butter and using a pastry blender, cut butter into the flour mixture until well blended – butter pieces should be about the size of peas.
- Add pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla and gently stir until combined.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and dump out the scone batter onto the counter. Using your hands, pat the dough gently to form a rectangle about an inch thick. Cut into 12 pieces of equal size; I usually do triangles.
- Place cut scones onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Refrigerate for about 15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Bake scones for 15-20 minutes or until tops and bottoms of scones are lightly golden brown.
- While the scones cool, make the espresso glaze.
- In a small bowl, add icing sugar and vanilla. In a small dish, mix buttermilk with espresso powder until powder has completely dissolved, then add to the icing sugar mixture.
- Whisk or stir until glaze is smooth and pourable.
- Using a spoon, pour glaze over each scone. (see notes)
- Scones will keep for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
Notes
Notes: If you glaze the scones while they're warm, the glaze will soak into the scone. For a more coffee shop style iced scone, wait for the scones to be completely cooled before glazing.
