This scone will rival famous bakery versions, and the spice glaze is absolutely to die for! These Pumpkin Scones drizzled with luscious spice glaze are so much better than the average scone.

Video: watch us make this Recipe Why This Recipe Stands Out Because many people don’t like scones due to their dry/crumbly texture, I set out to create scones that are quite the opposite. These pumpkin scones are outstandingly tender and perfect for fall. They’re one of our favorite pumpkin recipes, and here’s why: Supremely Moist: These scones are incredibly moist, a quality you don’t often find in scones. They’re Actually Easy: While scones might sound intimidating to make, they’re actually super easy. If you love these, you’ll also love Triple Pumpkin Scones with Cream Cheese Icing. Packed with Flavor: We’ve packed these scones with all the best fall spices including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, giving them a flavor that can’t be beat, just like our Pumpkin Spice Cookies. Delicious Glaze: The spiced glaze is the perfect finishing touch for these scones, taking them from great to absolutely incredible. Key Recipe Ingredients Pumpkin Puree – We use canned pure pumpkin for its unbeatable moistness and earthy flavor. You can also use your own homemade pumpkin puree. Spices – Ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice add a depth of flavor that perfectly complements the pumpkin. Butter – We use cold butter, cut into pieces, to ensure that our scones are tender and flaky. The small pockets of butter in the dough release steam as they bake, resulting in a light, airy texture. Mix-ins – Cinnamon chips and white chocolate chips add bursts of flavor and a touch of sweetness to our scones. You can find cinnamon chips in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. Substitutions And Variations Take a look at some of our favorite substitutions and variations: Chocolate Chips: If you can’t find seasonal cinnamon baking chips, you can use extra white chocolate chips or substitute them with semi-sweet chocolate chips, as in our Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. More Spices: If you like your scones with extra spices, feel free to increase the amounts of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. You can also add a pinch of cloves for a more intense flavor. Pumpkin Seeds: For a bit of crunch and extra seasonal flavor, add 1/4 cup pepitas (salt, roasted pumpkin seeds) to the dough. Glaze: The spice glaze is optional, but highly recommended. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. You can also use this Sugar Cookie Icing instead. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Work in cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in cinnamon and white chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin and eggs. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough holds together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Divide the chilled dough in half and form each half into a 6-inch circle, about 3/4 inches thick. Slice each circle into 6 wedges. Brush each wedge with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar and cinnamon. Place the plates in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425F. Transfer the parchment paper with scone wedges onto a baking sheet. Bake for 18-19 minutes. Make the spiced glaze by mixing all the glaze ingredients together. Drizzle scones with the spiced glaze and serve warm. For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead Take a look at our favorite prep ahead tips and strategies for these pumpkin scones: Make the Dough in Advance: The scone dough can be made ahead of time. Follow the recipe instructions to make the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate. You can do this a day in advance. Make the Glaze Beforehand: The spiced glaze can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze the Shaped Scones: Once you’ve shaped the scone dough into wedges and brushed them with milk, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. This is a great way to have scone dough ready to bake whenever you want. Just make sure to bake longer if you’re baking the scones from frozen. These Pumpkin Scones are moist on the inside and packed with fall spices, giving them a delightful holiday flavor. Commonly Asked Questions Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin? Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin puree if you prefer. Just make sure it’s well-drained and has a similar consistency to canned pumpkin. You may need to adjust the amount slightly to achieve the right texture in your scone dough. Why do I need to chill the dough? Chilling the dough is important for two reasons. First, it allows the flavors to meld and develop. Second, it firms up the butter in the dough, which leads to a better texture and rise during baking. How do I know when the scones are done? The scones are done when they are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. You may have a few tender crumbs attached, which is perfect. How long do the scones keep? These pumpkin scones will keep well for a day or two at room temperature. Be sure to store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.

If dough is sticky, just scrape it into a ball and wrap with cling wrap. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes or until dough is cold enough to be workable.Line two plates with squares of parchment paper (parchment should extend past the plate) and sprinkle some flour on parchment. Divide dough in half and place each half on a separate plate.  Pat each half into a 6 inch circle, about 3/4 inches thick each.Carefully slice each circle into 6 wedges.  Separate wedges so there is at least 1/2 inch space between them.  Brush each wedge with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar/cinnamon.Place the plates into freezer for 30 minutes, which helps the texture and rise.  White scones are chilling, preheat oven to 425F.Transfer parchment paper with scone wedges onto baking sheet.  Bake scones 18-19 minutes on lower middle rack, watching to make sure they don't over bake. Once they are golden on top and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few tender crumbs are fine.)  The edges should look baked, not wet or doughy.While scones are baking, make Spiced Glaze.  Mix together all glaze ingredients and whisk to incorporate well.Remove scones from oven and cool a bit.  Drizzle with spiced glaze and serve warm.  Wrap any leftovers in airtight container and keep at room temp.  Do not put in fridge.  Glazed scones keep well for a day or two. Video Notes Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the cold butter. This will ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the scones. Chill your scone dough before baking. This helps maintain their shape and rise beautifully in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425F while your scones are chilling. This way, they can go straight from the freezer to the oven. If you can’t find seasonal cinnamon baking chips, you can use extra white chocolate chips or substitute them with semi-sweet chocolate chips. For a bit of crunch and extra seasonal flavor, add 1/4 cup pepitas (salted, roasted pumpkin seeds) to the dough.  This recipe is part of our fall recipes collection.     If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating.

We’re loving these Mini Pumpkin Churros as a fresh addition to our favorite fall treats!

Why This Recipe Stands Out After a phone conference with a small circle of food bloggers and Bobby Flay years ago, I instantly ran off to make his recipe for Pumpkin Churros. Needless to say, these pumpkin churros were an instant hit: Perfect Autumn Treat: This is so delicious, this recipe made it into favorite Fall Pumpkin Recipes. Great for Parties: This recipe makes 32 mini churros – perfect for any fall party or Halloween party! Crispy and Tender: Pumpkin Churros are crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The cinnamon/sugar coating makes this the dessert-version of a hot bowl of soup on crisp fall days. Fun to Make and Serve: Just like these Pumpkin Pasties, Pumpkin Churros are super fun to make. They’re great for getting the kids in the kitchen! What Are Churros? Churros are doughnut sticks piped from a bag with a star-shaped tip and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Yum! These festive treats were adopted from Central and South American countries, most likely originating in Spain. Traditional churros are usually made with an ooey-gooey chocolate or Dulce de Leche filling, but we like to simplify things by keeping the churros filling-free and using a variety of dips instead. Key Recipe Ingredients Churro Coating – The tried-and-true mixture of cinnamon and sugar is all it takes. Pumpkin Spice – Ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg are mixed together and added to the churro batter. Pumpkin Puree – Make sure to grab 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling, as the pie filling has extra sugar and spices added that we don’t need. Butter – Unsalted butter plays a huge role in making pumpkin churros melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Frying Oil – Reach for a neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point like canola or vegetable oil to fry these mini churros. Substitutions And Variations Our favorite way to tweak the flavors of Pumpkin Churros is whipping up tons of dipping sauces: Coffee Dipping Sauce: Here’s an indulgent Chocolate-Coffee Dipping Sauce recipe that elevates these Pumpkin Churros to the next level. Salted Caramel Sauce: Try serving this 4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Sauce with Pumpkin Churros. It’s the perfect texture for dipping! Hot Fudge Sauce: Another rich, chocolatey sauce we love dipping these goodies in, is this Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip: Want even more pumpkin? Try whipping together this sweet and tangy Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip. Churro Shapes: This one’s for the experienced churro makers out there. Try piping churros into fun shapes like ghosts, pumpkins, or bats. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions Mix cinnamon and sugar together for the churro coating; sprinkle onto a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients for the churros. Bring 1 1/2 cups water, pumpkin puree, butter and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk continuously. Pour pumpkin mixture into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add in eggs – one at a time – and continue mixing until well-combined. Place dough into pastry bag with a large star tip. Pipe dough in 3-inch sections into a high-sided pan with 2 inches of oil at 350F. Cook churros for 3-4 minutes, and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet before rolling warm churros in coating. Serve warm and enjoy! For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead While Pumpkin Churros are best enjoyed warm, there are a few key tips for preparing ingredients ahead of time: Combine Coating Ingredients: The cinnamon-sugar coating can be mixed several days in advance and stored in an airtight container. You can even make extra to sprinkle on anything! Mix Dry Ingredients: Feel free to measure and mix all dry ingredients ahead of time. Pipe Ahead of Time: If you’re piping shapes, we recommend piping each batch ahead of time onto a little square of wax paper, so you can plop them all in at once. Commonly Asked Questions What is the best way to store and reheat pumpkin churros? We generally recommend enjoying churros fresh, as they can get soft the longer they sit. But you can chill churros in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months. One trick to get the crisp back when reheating churros is to use an air fryer or a toaster oven. Just set the toaster oven to 350F and heat churros for 5+ minutes until heated through, or set the air fryer to 350F and heat churros for up to 5 minutes. How to ensure perfectly cooked churros? The secret to perfectly cooked churros lies in the temperature of your frying oil. It’s always a good idea to use a food thermometer with the oil. You’ll want it to stay right around 350F. Too cold, and your churros will end up soggy and oily. Too hot, and they’ll end up crisp on the outside, but raw on the inside. How can I tell when my pumpkin churros are done? With the right oil temperature, you’ll know your churros are done when they turn completely golden and crisp on the outside. This usually takes 3-4 minutes. Why aren’t my churros turning crispy even though my oil’s the right temperature? If your oil’s the right temp and your churros are still not turning out crispy, it may be caused by overcrowding. You want to make sure that the churros have enough space to really crisp up. Try making smaller batches, and see if this helps! Why isn’t my churro coating sticking? We’ve learned that coating won’t stick to churros (or any doughnut) unless you roll them when they’re still warm. Try rolling them as soon as possible after letting them drain in paper towels. A nice set of tongs helps with this. Print Pumpkin Churros These pumpkin churros are the most fun treat to make in fall. It's the perfect afternoon or weekend treat for grown-ups and kids alike!

Bring 1 1/2 cups water, the pumpkin puree, butter and vanilla to a boil in a medium saucepan, whisking constantly.Pour the pumpkin mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined; it will be thick. Continue mixing and add in your eggs, one at a time, until well combined. The dough should be thick and smooth, able to cling to spoon. If your dough is too runny, add more flour until it reaches a thick pudding consistency. Place the dough into a pastry bag with a large star tip.Heat 2 inches of oil in a high-sided large pan until it reaches 350F on a thermometer.Pipe the dough directly into the pan in 3-inch pieces, cutting off the pieces with a scissor. Fry until golden and crispy, turning as needed, about 3-4 min. (This part takes a bit of practice, but if you don’t mind a few curvy-looking churros, you’re all set!)Transfer the churros to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain the oil. Transfer drained churros to baking sheet with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, tossing to coat well.Serve immediately, while still crispy and warm. Notes Pro Tip: The oil will cool slightly after every batch of churros. After removing all the churros, give the oil a minute to heat back up to temp before piping in your next batch. Make sure to have a food thermometer handy for the oil. It’s crucial that it stays close to 350F for the churros to cook right.

Judge orders Martin Shkreli to testify as to how many copies of one-off Wu Tang Clan album he purchased in 2015 might now be in circulation

Several paragraphs from Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris's 2009 book "Smart on Crime" were found to closely resemble—or exactly match—wording from other sources, leading to accusations of plagiarism against the vice president.

The British government has declared that Hezbollah, in fact, IS a terrorist organization, but these police officers consider it a matter of opinion as they stand guard at a rally for terrorist sympathizers who are mourning the death of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli airstrike. I wonder if these officers are Muslims?
