Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spices until well combined.
- Use a pastry cutter to cut in the chilled, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the light brown sugar, creating a sweet, spiced base.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and eggs, then gently fold into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Gently knead the dough a few times to bring it together, shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into wedges, then transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the formed scones in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden on top and firm to the touch.
- While the scones cool, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over each scone.

Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients and avoid overmixing to keep scones tender.
