For best results, use cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible to keep the scones tender. Feel free to add a simple glaze on top once cooled. A mixture of powdered sugar and milk, flavored with vanilla or pumpkin spice, works perfectly. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

May 6, 2025The pumpkin spice flavor is just right – not too overpowering. Great for a fall brunch!
