Vegan Classic Pumpkin Scones

Cozy spiced pumpkin is the heart of these wedge-shaped scones, warmed through with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove for that unmistakable fall flavor. The dough comes together shaggy and gets pressed into a thick circle, then chilled before baking so the scones hold their shape and bake up with craggy, golden edges. A quick cinnamon-spiced glaze gets drizzled over the top once they've cooled, adding a sweet, glossy finish to every bite. They're flaky, tender in the middle, and packed with real pumpkin flavor rather than tasting like a flat spice cookie. This one's a genuinely solid pick for a vegan fall baking spread, no compromise on flavor or texture required.

⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
6 tbsp unsalted butter, frozen
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
4 tbsp heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
1 large egg
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2–3 tbsp milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground ginger
