Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• ¾ cup canned pumpkin
• ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half
• 3 tablespoons cold butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a large bowl; cut in butter and shortening using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture is crumbly.

Step 3

Mix pumpkin, egg, and half-and-half together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until combined. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut dough into pizza-like wedges and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool.

Step 5

Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl; drizzle over scones.
