Spiced Pumpkin Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour
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


Sugar Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons whole milk


Spiced Glaze Ingredients:

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


Directions:

Preheat oven to 425*

Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl.

With a fork, pastry knife, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter remain. Set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin, half and half, and egg.

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.

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 to slice the dough into three equal portions. Cut diagonally to produce 6 triangular slices of dough.

Place on prepared baking sheet from step 2.

Bake for 14–16 minutes until scones turn light brown.

Place on wire rack to cool.



Sugar Glaze:

Mix the powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoon milk together until smooth.

Brush glaze over the top of each cooled scone.



Spiced Glaze:

As sugar glaze firms, combine the spiced icing ingredients.

Use whisk to drizzle over each scone and allow to dry before serving.

Makes 6 pumpkin scones.
