Description

These glazed spiced pumpkin scones are like the ones from my favorite coffee shop. This recipe is so tasty, quick, easy to make, and more economical.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons cold butter
3 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2 Whisk 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.
3 Combine pumpkin, egg, and half-and-half in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just combined. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; shape into a 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut dough into pizza-shaped wedges; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool.
5 Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl; drizzle over scones. Let set.
