peanut butter chip pumpkin scones with maple glaze
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter frozen
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsps heavy cream divided
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (10oz) bag peanut butter chips
for the maple glaze:
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps maple syrup
- 2 tbsps heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together until well incorporated.
- Grate the frozen butter using a cheese box grater.
- Mix the grated butter into the dry ingredients from step two using your hands until the mixture comes together with small butter crumbs.
- In a large measuring cup, whisk 1/3 cup heavy cream, egg, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Pour this mixture into the flour/butter bowl then mix until a dough ball forms.
- Lay the dough ball out on a floured work surface then form it into a disc, about 8 inches in diameter, then slice it into 8 equal-sized wedges.
- Arrange scones on the prepared baking sheet then brush the remaining 2 tbsps of heavy cream on top of each scone.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Remove the scones from the oven and allow to cool before adding glaze.
- While the scones bake, make your glaze: Whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once scones have cooled slightly, drizzle glaze over top then enjoy!
