Starbucks Pumpkin Scones are tender and full of flavor scones. The cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves give these scones a wonderful flavor that reminds me that fall is here.

These Starbucks pumpkin scones are a copycat of the scones that are sold at the Starbucks stores. Not only do they have a nice sweet glaze, but they have two glazes that are drizzled over the top of the scones. The first one is a vanilla glaze, once that is set you drizzle one that has more of the same spices that are used in the scones.

They would make the perfect treat for your Thanksgiving morning or during the holidays. Pair it with a cup of coffee, tea, or milk to start your day.

Ingredients used in Starbucks pumpkin scones:

  • Flour
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Cinnamon – used in the scones and the spiced icing.
  • Nutmeg – used in the scones and the spiced icing.
  • Ginger  – used in the scones and the spiced icing.
  • Cloves  – used in the scones and the spiced icing.
  • Butter
  • Pumpkin puree – canned pumpkin or fresh pureed pumpkin can be used.
  • Cream
  • Egg
  • Powdered sugar – for the icings.
  • Milk – for the icings.

Substitutes for Pumpkin (just in case):

There are substitutes for pumpkin if you don’t have it on hand. Mashed sweet potatoes or butternut squash make will make an excellent substitute for these scones. Just replace the half cup of pumpkin puree with either the sweet potatoes or the squash.

 

Can you use margarine in scones instead of butter?

Personally I would say no, using high-quality ingredients will produce high-quality scones. So when baking scones or other baked ingredients always use the best ingredients that you can afford.

Steps for making Starbucks pumpkin scones:

Step One:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.  Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step Two:

Place the flour, sugar, salt, and spices into a large bowl. Add the cold butter that has been cut into cubes.

Step Three:

Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter, a fork, or two knives until the butter is cut into small pieces and the mixture comes together into small crumbs.

Step Four:

Combine the pumpkin, cream, and egg and mix together. Add to the flour mixture. Mix until all dry ingredients are moistened; form into a ball.

Step Five:

Sprinkle the work surface with flour. Place the dough on the floured surface and knead 5 to 7 times. Pat the dough into a 4-inch wide by a 12-inch long rectangle.


Step Six:

Cut the rectangle into 3 squares and then cut the squares into triangles. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack to cool.

Step Seven:

Make the vanilla icing. Once the scones are completely cooled drizzle the vanilla icing over the scones. Once the vanilla icing is drizzled make the spiced icing. Drizzle the spiced icing over the top of vanilla icing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 7 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 6 tablespoons butter cold and cut into cubes

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • pinch cloves
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, sugar, and spices in a large bowl. Add the cold butter that has been cut into cubes. With a pastry cutter, fork, or two knives cut the butter until the mixture has formed crumbs and there are no large pieces of butter.
  • Combine the pumpkin, cream, and egg and mix together. Add to the flour mixture. Mix until all dry ingredients are moistened; form into a ball.
  • Sprinkle the work surface with flour. Place the dough on the floured surface and knead 5 to 7 times. Pat the dough into a 4-inch wide by a 12-inch long rectangle.
  • Cut the rectangle into 3 squares and then cut the squares into triangles. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack to cool.
  • Make the vanilla icing. Once the scones are completely cooled drizzle the vanilla icing over the scones. Once the vanilla icing is drizzled make the spiced icing. Drizzle the spiced icing over the top of vanilla icing.

Notes

  1. Use butter instead of margarine for a richer flavor scone.
  2. Use cold butter and egg for scones. 
  3. Scones are best eaten on the day that they are made, but if there are leftovers store in an airtight container.
  4. If you want the scones to last even longer they can be frozen for up to a month.
