Baking Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, then shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick. Cut the disc into wedges or use a round cutter for nice, uniform shapes.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the scones are baking, you can make your glazes. For the white glaze, combine the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. For the spiced glaze, mix the powdered sugar, spices, and milk in another bowl.
- Once the scones have cooled slightly, drizzle with the white glaze first, then add the spiced glaze for a beautiful finish.
Notes
Use fresh pumpkin puree if possible for a richer flavor. Keep the butter cold for flaky texture. Adjust spices to taste.
