Ingredients
Instructions
Combine flour, sugars, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt in the canister of a food processor. Pulse briefly until ingredients are well combined.
Sprinkle butter pieces over the top of your flour mixture and pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour pumpkin/cream mixture over flour/butter mixture in your food processor, and pulse until mixture begins to clump together (see picture in post for visual).
Carefully turn pumpkin scone dough out onto lightly floured surface. Fold the dough in half over itself and use your hands to gently flatten layers together. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and fold in half again, repeating this step 5 times and taking care to not overwork the dough. Use your hands to form into a disk about 6” wide.
Using a large knife, cut into 8 wedges pressing knife straight down (don't saw with your knife! Just press straight down, this will help your scones to bake up straight).
Place scones at least 2" apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Brush each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

*Please see post for tips on making these pumpkin scones without a food processor.
**Make sure this is puree and not "pumpkin pie filling".
***To blot your pumpkin, place it in a medium sized bowl and use paper towels to "blot" the pumpkin and absorb as much liquid as you can. See video for more advice on blotting.

Finally found the best and easiest pumpkin scones I’ve ever made! Just curious why these pumpkin scones have so much more sugar than your other scone recipes. Don’t get me wrong…I loved how sweet these were but just really curious because I want to try some of your other scone recipes as well. Thanks so much!
So good! Love the video with all the little tips! Thanks!
These WOULD have been great had I had the patience to make sure the moisture of the pumpkin was truly soak out. I doctored them up the best I could and they still tasted amazing. I will give it another whirl and have patience the next time.
Love all your recipes!! It's still a 5 star as it was easy to make and very tasty!
Another great recipe! I made these yesterday for the first time and they came out so perfect that I immediately made another batch and froze them! I love scones but haven’t attempted them much because they have always seemed like they would take extra work. This recipe is so easy, and quick to put together! The video was very helpful and made it seem easier than I expected. The scones are perfect! I didn’t even put the glaze on them, but I did do the whipping cream and I went very heavy on the sprinkle sugar top. Amazing!
Just made this to have for the Thanksgiving weekend - a delicious and easy recipe! I added mini choc chips to a couple of batches (I made 3 batches, one as printed and two more in more of a mini size). Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!
OMG - I would give this recipe six stars if I could! These are the scones of my dreams. There is no one on Earth who wouldn’t love these. The technique of how to handle the dough is explained so well and is spot-on. I used White Lily flour for these, as I do with all my biscuits, and the inside was fluffy and creamy. I understand that “real” British scones have a coarser texture and are more craggy, but they ain’t got nuthin’ on these. Sam - thank you and your sister for being so generous as to share her secrets with us:)
I made these today for the first time and they are delicious!!! Thanks for writing such detailed instructions and also for providing the video. Your recipes are always the best!
