Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. If using the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones.
Pro Tips for Scone Success (Avoid Common Mistakes!)
Even beginners can achieve bakery-quality results by keeping these helpful tips in mind.
- Keep It Cold: Your coconut oil and plant milk should be cold. You can even chill your bowl and utensils for 10 minutes before starting.
- Puree Consistency: Your squash or pumpkin puree should be thick, not watery. If homemade, spread it on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture before measuring.
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible. Overmixing develops gluten, leading to dense, tough scones.
- Making Your Own Puree: To make butternut squash puree, cube and roast a small squash at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender. Blend until smooth. This adds a deeper, roasted flavor.
- Storage & Reheating: Store cooled, unglazed scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes to restore the crisp exterior.
