Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Chefs Knife
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • Cup Pumpkin Purée
  • 1 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 ½ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 10 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, cut into ¼ inch cubes, cold Be sure to use one that comes in stick form!

For the Maple Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Non-Dairy Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400* F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine pumpkin purée, non-dairy milk, vanilla and vinegar.
    ⅔ Cup Pumpkin Purée, 1 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Vanilla, 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
    2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, ⅛ teaspoon Kosher Salt, 2 ½ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Add the cubed non-dairy butter into the dry mixture and work the butter into the dry ingredients using your hands or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
    10 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, cut into ¼ inch cubes, cold
  • Add the pumpkin mixture to the bowl. Using your hands, gently toss together just until everything is moistened and a shaggy dough forms. See note!
  • Turn the scone dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle with a 7" diameter. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 triangles. Transfer the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in a 400* F oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are browned across the bottoms. Allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes before glazing.

For the Glaze

  • In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and non-dairy milk. Whisk until completely smooth. If you want a thinner glaze, add a little more non-dairy milk.
    1 Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted, 3 tablespoon Maple Syrup, 1 ½ teaspoon Non-Dairy Milk, ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the scones and serve.

Notes

Don't overwork the dough! Gently toss everything together with your hands, then tip it the dough onto a work surface and gently pat it into a circle. Avoid kneading and over-mixing!
Keep the vegan butter in the refrigerator until you are ready to use. I like to cube it first, then pop it back into the refrigerator while I gather the other ingredients.
