Gluten Free Pumpkin Scones
- 1 cup Quinoa Flour
- 1/2 cups Tapioca Flour
- 1/2 cups Millet Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cloves
- 6 Tablespoons Cold Butter
- 1/2 cups (heaping) Canned Pumpkin
- 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream Or Milk
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream Or Milk, More As Needed
- 1 pinch Cloves
- 1 pinch Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line one with parchment paper.
- Combine flours, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl.
- Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious.
- Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Form the dough into a ball.
- Pat the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide).
- Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making three equal portions.
- Cut those three slices diagonally so that you have 6 triangular slices of dough.
- Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes.
- Scones should begin to turn light brown.
- Place on wire rack to cool.
- TO MAKE THE PLAIN GLAZE:
- Mix the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth.
- Use more milk or powdered sugar as needed to reach glaze consistency.
- When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze over the top of each scone.
- As the plain glaze firms up on top of the scones, make the spiced glaze.
- TO MAKE THE SPICED GLAZE:
- Combine the ingredient for the spiced icing together.
- Drizzle this thicker icing over each scone and allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour).
- A squirt bottle works great for this, or you can drizzle with a whisk.
