What I Love About This Pumpkin Scones Recipe

Sometimes accidents are good things. As in the case of these pumpkin scones. What began as a mistake turned out to be one of the easiest scones I make in the fall.

And delicious? Yes! Warm from the oven… sweetened with a pumpkin spice glaze. Yum!

I almost didn’t post this recipe. Honestly, with its 3 simple ingredients, it’s hardly a recipe.

But they were pumpkin! And I had a suspicion you might like them as much as I do. Millions of us love Starbuck’s Pumpkin Scones or… anyone’s pumpkin scones, for that matter. So if you’re in the mood for for easy scones, let me tell you the backstory.

I accidentally purchased Libby’s Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix instead of Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin. And I was really in the mood for pumpkin scones.

So I experimented and used my pumpkin pie mix with a box mix from the market. Not exactly like homemade (like my favorite Pumpkin Scones with Cinnamon Icing), but pretty close!

Ingredients 

  • 1 box Fisher Original Fair Scones Mix
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin pie mix
  • 1/2 cup water

Pumpkin Spice Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add contents of scone mix, 1/2 cup pumpkin pie mix, and about 1/2 cup water. A little more, or a little less depending on the texture.
  • Mix until it comes together. Knead 5-6 times in the mixing bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface. I like to use a parchment that I can then transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Divide the dough into 3 pieces. For each piece, pat into a 5-inch diameter dome, with the center slighter higher than the outside edges. Cut each dome into 4 wedges. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  • Place the scones on an ungreased baking sheet or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze, adjusting the milk to thin or thicken as desired. Allow the scones to cool about 10 minutes before glazing.

Notes

Substituting Canned Pure Pumpkin

If you're using pure pumpkin puree instead of the "pumpkin pie mix" add:
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or:
______________
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

    1. Hi Janis! Yes it can. The only difference is that the canned pumpkin pie mix has spices added. I would definitely add cinnamon and maybe a dash of cloves and ginger – or pumpkin pie spice.

  1. These are amazing! Thank you. I was hoping to find something I could use in tandem with the Fisher Scone Mix! And oh so easy!

    1. Hi Patricia! Aren’t they SO easy?! One of my go-to recipes in the fall when I need quick and easy desserts! So glad you like them!

    1. It’s in all of our markets, also at Costco and at Amazon.com. Here is a link to the Amazon Fisher products. Although I haven’t tried another brand — they would probably work just as well! If you try it with another brand — I’d love to hear how it worked!
