Pumpkin Scones

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment or spraying with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a medium-sized bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In a measuring cup, mix together the pumpkin, milk and egg and add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 4

Pat the dough out on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle that is roughly 4 inches by 12 inches. Cut the dough into thirds to form three 4 inch by 4 inch squares, then cut an X in each of the squares to form 4 triangular scones.

Step 5

Move the scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven and move to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.

Step 6

While the scones are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk and spices. Drizzle the spiced glaze over the scones. Enjoy!
