Ingredients

For the Scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₃ cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons Simply Organic Pumpkin Spice
1 Tablespoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sea or Himalayan pink salt
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
¹⁄₂ cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
¹⁄₄ cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze (optional):

¹⁄₂ cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tablespoons heavy cream

Optional Pumpkin Icing:

¹⁄₂ cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon pumpkin purée
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch of Simply Organic Pumpkin Spice

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt.
Grate frozen butter directly into flour mixture. Gently work ingredients together with a spatula or your hands so butter is evenly distributed, but don't over-mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, heavy cream, egg and vanilla extract.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until a dough forms (do not over-mix).
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a 7-inch round, about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
Transfer to baking sheet and brush tops with more heavy cream.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Let scones cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
For the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy cream. Spread glaze over top of each scone in a thin later and let it set at room temperature.
For the pumpkin icing: In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin, cream and pumpkin spice. Drizzle pumpkin icing over top of glaze. Let set, then enjoy.
