1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
•
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
•
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
•
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
•
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
•
7 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
•
3 tablespoons heavy cream
•
1 large egg
•
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and ginger in a large bowl. Mix butter into the flour mixture with your hands until it resembles coarse bread crumbs.
3
Combine pumpkin, brown sugar, cream, and egg in a medium bowl with a whisk. Fold into flour mixture with a large spoon until the dry bits at the bottom of the bowl have been incorporated.
4
Pat the mixture into a ball with your hands and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Continue to shape into a ball; gently press down and out, forming the dough into a flattened circle, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. If the edges start to crack, just place the palm of your hand against the edge and gently press the dough back in.
5
Dust a large, sharp knife with flour and cut the dough into 6 triangles. Slide the knife under each to help you lift and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until scones begin to turn light brown in color, 12 to 16 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.
7
While scones are cooling, mix confectioners' sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves for glaze together in a small bowl. Drizzle over scones while they are still warm.
