Gluten Free Classic Pumpkin Scones

Warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove meet real pumpkin puree in these tender, wedge-cut scones, with grated frozen butter worked in for those flaky, craggy layers everyone wants in a good scone. A quick chill before baking keeps the edges crisp while the centers stay soft and rich, and a cinnamon-spiked glaze drizzled over the top adds just the right amount of sweetness. Cut into eight generous wedges, they're the kind of fall bake that feels like a bakery treat but comes together right on your own baking sheet. This one is a great pick for a gluten free breakfast spread or afternoon coffee break, no fuss required.
