Pumpkin scones

 Scones Ingredients:

• 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

Scones Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with silicone mat or with parchment paper.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 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 pastry scraper or large knife 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.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.

Sugar Glaze Directions:

Mix the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk together until smooth.
When scones are cool, use a brush or knife to spread the sugar glaze over the top of each scone.

Spices Glaze Directions:

As sugar glaze firms, make the spiced glaze. Combine the ingredient for the spiced glaze together. With a spoon or whisk, drizzle this thicker icing over each of the pumpkin scones and allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour).
