Ingredients
For the scones:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 large egg
For the white glaze:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
For the spiced glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon canned pumpkin
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two butter knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also do this in a food processor.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry just until a rough dough is formed. Turn out onto a piece of parchment paper and form into a disc about 1-inch thick and 8 to 9 inches in diameter. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle with a bit of flour.
- Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes, and cool completely.
- To make the glazes, simply mix together all the ingredients for each type until smooth. When scones are completely cooled, dip them into the white glaze and set aside to let the glaze set. Once the white glaze sets, drizzle the spiced glaze over the top. You can simply use a spoon or pipe the glaze on.
