Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Scones with Maple Icing Recipe

Starbucks Pumpkin lovers out there! We have the Starbucks pumpkin Spice Scones with Maple Icing Recipe copycat recipe for you to make! Starbucks said Pumpkin Scone is not returning this year. They made the announcement on twitter: (you can print the recipe below)

There's something so fancy about scones! They are perfect with tea or coffee and are a great addition to any breakfast or brunch spread. Serve them up with some freshly made bacon and eggs for a completely decadent meal!

Combine the beauty of a scone with the dreaminess of pumpkin spice, YES PLEASE! PSLs, you might love them or hate them, but there's no denying, these scones are delicious!

These slightly soft and melt in your mouth pumpkin scones are super easy to whip together.  This recipe makes a small batch of scones, but if you cut them up into smaller triangles then you will have tons of bite-sized beauties!

The easiest way to cut them is to roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Cut out rows and then columns so that you have squares.  Cut each of those squares on a diagonal to make little triangles!  You can also roll the dough into a circle and cut it like a pie.

The key is to not over work the dough, so that the pockets of butter will only melt when cooking!

The glaze for these scones is also very simple to mix together.  The maple syrup adds great flavor.  You can also make the glaze without the maple syrup; just add in 4 more Tablespoons of milk instead!
