Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons cold milk
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 6 tablespoons cold butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.75 cup pumpkin puree

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk flour, oats, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and cloves together in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk pumpkin purée, 2 tablespoons cold milk, egg, and vanilla together in a small bowl; fold into flour mixture until just blended.

Step 3

Divide dough into two sections on a lightly floured surface. Gather each into a ball and knead about 10-12 times. Flatten balls to 1/2-inch thickness and 2 inches apart on a nonstick baking sheet. Cut rounds into sixths with a butter knife, but do not separate wedges.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms and edges are just golden brown, 12 to 16 minutes. Cool.

Step 5

Mix confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, remaining ginger, and reserved cinnamon together in a small bowl. Pour frosting into a resealable plastic bag; snip off a corner and drizzle over cooled scones in a zig-zag fashion.
