Ingredients

• 7 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 6 tablespoons cold butter
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 3 tablespoons half-and-half
• 1 large egg
• POWDERERED SUGAR GLAZZE
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• SPICED GLAZE
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ginger
• 1 pinch ground cloves

Preparation

Step 1

TO MAKE THE SCONES:.
1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking
sheet or line with parchment paper.
2 Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in
a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food
processor, cut 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 pumpkin, half and
half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Form the dough into a ball.
4 Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it
into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3
inches wide). Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice
the dough twice through the width, making three equal
portions. Cut those three slices diagonally so that you
have 6 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared
baking sheet.
5 Bake for 14–16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn
light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.

TO MAKE THE PLAIN GLAZE:.
1 Mix the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk together until
smooth.
2 When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze
over the top of each scone.

AS THAT WHITE GLAZE FIRMS UP, MAKE THE SPICED ICING:.

1 Combine the ingredient for the spiced icing together.
Drizzle this thicker icing over each scone and allow the
icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour). A squirt
bottle works great for this, or you can drizzle with a
whisk.
