Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder,salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until butter is mixed in (no larger than pea sized).
- In separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk and egg.
- Slowly fold pumpkin mixture into dry ingredients. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now as well.
- Should start to form into a soft ball. (If needed add more flour until you can form that soft dough ball.)
- Put dough ball out onto floured surface.
- Knead 5 or 6 times until smooth. Flatten into round circle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut circle into 8 triangle shaped scones.
- Place scones on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 10-12 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

- Combine all ingredients into a bowl.
- Put pumpkin icing into a ziplock bag and snip the corner and ice over the glaze in a zigzag motion.
Notes

- 4oz of cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Combine all frosting ingredients. Beat together with mixer until smooth. Drizzle over the top of cooled scones.
- The colder the butter, the better!
- Cut your butter into cubes or sticks for easier mixing.
- Make sure to measure your flour with a sifter or spoon it into your measuring cup.
- Using canned pumpkin in this recipe adds plenty of moisture, so you may not need all the milk the recipe calls for.
- Avoid using a mixer for this recipe. You can use a pastry cutter to cut in your butter.
- Don't over mix!
- It is best to store pumpkin scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days.
- If storing the scones with frosting in the refrigerator, let them rest on the counter until they are at room temperature to enjoy.
