SPICED PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, and allspice in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a fork or using two butter knives until it looks like coarse meal. Stir in the pumpkin puree, and then add milk a little at a time until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disk; wrap it in plastic wrap and chill 10 minutes in the freezer. (See note on chill time.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or press the dough out to a circle about 7 to 8 inches in diameter and ¾ inch thick. Use a floured 2½ inch round cookie cutter to stamp out the scones, then gather up the dough scraps and repeat as necessary (you should get about 8 to 10 scones). Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, lightly brush the tops with a little milk and a sprinkle of sugar, and bake until puffed and light golden brown on top and bottom, about 14 to 16 minutes. While the scones are baking, beat together all ingredients for the Cinnamon Pumpkin Cream; refrigerate until serving. Serve the scones warm with the chilled Cinnamon Pumpkin Cream.

PUMPKIN SCONES WITH SPICED GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a large bowl. Use a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious; set aside. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, half-and-half and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and form the dough into a ball. Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle about 3 times as long as wide. Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making three equal portions. Cut each of the portions in an X pattern (four pieces) so you end up with 12 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until light brown. Place on wire rack to cool. 4. To make the powdered sugar glaze, mix the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. When scones are cool, use a brush to spread plain glaze over the top of each scone. 5. To make the spiced glaze, while the powdered sugar glaze is firming, combine all of the ingredients for the spiced glaze. Drizzle over each scone and allow the icing to dry before serving (about an hour).
