Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour extra for dusting
  • 1/2 cup cold salted butter cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  • Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the dry ingredients using a fork or pastry cutter until it forms coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, egg, and maple extract.
  • Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be slightly sticky but not wet.
  • Lightly flour your work surface, then transfer the dough and form it into a 9-inch round. Keep the thickness uniform, around 1 inch.
  • Cut the dough into 8 even wedges and carefully place them onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
  • While the scones cool, stir together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, maple extract, and pumpkin pie spice to make the glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones just before serving.
