For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Place the scones in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and firm.
- Prepare the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve:
- Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes:
