SCONES
2 cup(s) all purpose flour
7 tablespoon(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
6 tablespoon(s) frozen butter
1/2 cup(s) canned pumpkin
3 tablespoon(s) half and half
1 large egg
GLAZE
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
1 tablespoon(s) powdered sugar
2 tablespoon(s) milk
SPICED GLAZE
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
3 tablespoon(s) powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
pinch(es) ground ginger
pinch(es) ground cloves
2 tablespoon(s) milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices in a large bowl.
  • To the dry ingredients, begin grating the butter. Stir to ensure that all butter is coated with the flour mixture.
  • In a new bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, half and half and egg. When ready, use a spatula to fold the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients.
  • Sprinkle a clean surface with flour. Knead dough 4-5 times, then divide in half and form each dough ball into a 1/2 in thick round. Slice each into 8 pieces to form your scones.
  • Place on 2 baking sheets that pave been lined with parchment. Bake for 10-14 minutes, just until the tops begin to brown. Cool on rack.
  • GLAZE: Whisk powdered sugar and milk together. Brush on each scone and let set.
  • SPICE GLAZE: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and spices. This one you will want to drizzle - not brush - over the top of each scone. Allow to set.
