Ingredients:

For Scones:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 7 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice ( or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.)
• 6 tablespoons cold butter, got into small cubes
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 3 tablespoons half-half
• 1 large egg

For Powdered Sugar glaze:

• 1 cup & 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons half-half (or milk)

For Spiced glaze:

• 1 cup & 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons half-half (or milk)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of ground ginger
• Pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

1. First in a large bowl, whisk together your 2 cups flour, 7 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon of your pumpkin spice.

2.) Next take a fork and cut your butter into the your dry ingredients. Your mixture should then be crumbly with no pieces of butter bigger than the size of a pea.

3.) Now take a medium bowl and whisk together your 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 3 tablespoons half-half, and your egg. While doing this preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

4.) Once you’ve whisked that together, pour it into your dry ingredients. You’re going to want to fold your mixture into your dry ingredients until it’s mostly combined.

5.) For this step I sprinkled my work surface with flour because my mixture was pretty moist and was hard to handle. Then you’ll take your dough and knead the flour into it and make sure everything is well mixed.

6.) Pat your dough into an about 7 inch circle. After you’ve done that take a butter knife or pizza cutter and cut the circle into 8 triangles like a pizza.

7.) Our scones are just about ready to be baked. Get your baking sheets, line them with parchment paper, and then set the scones on them.

8.) Bake the scones for 14-16 minutes. Once they are done put them on a cooling rack so they can completely cool before we start our glazing.

9.) We’re now going to begin making our glazes. Take a small bowl and whisk together your 1 cup & 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons half and half until it is smooth.

10.) Then use a pastry brush and spread your glaze over the top of your scones. Then let it dry for about 12 minutes before adding your spice drizzle.

11.) While your glaze is drying take a small bowl again and whisk together 1 cup & 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons half-half, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, a pinch of ground ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves until smooth.

12.) Now take a spoon and drizzle the spice glaze over the top of your scones. Then let your glaze dry before serving.

Your Pumpkin Spice scones are now ready to be enjoyed with a warm cup of coffee or tea. I hope you enjoy the delicious mixture of pumpkin and spices and your sweet tooth is now satisfied.
