Ingredients
  

For the scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves optional
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk
  • Pinch of cinnamon optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin, milk, egg, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
  • Place scones on the baking sheet, slightly apart. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly. Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled scones (optional).

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree if preferred—just make sure it's thick and not watery.
  • Add 1/3 cup chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the dough for extra texture.
