Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and egg until well blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Turn your dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the circle into wedges or use a round cutter to stamp out individual scones.
- Transfer them to your prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even baking.
Baking
- Bake your scones in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
To elevate your pumpkin scones, consider incorporating a cream cheese glaze on top or sprinkling with coarse sugar before baking. For a vegan option, replace the butter with coconut oil and use almond milk instead of cream. Variations can include different spices or adding cheese and herbs.
