1 |
Preheat oven
to 425°F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray
or line with parchment paper. |
|
2 |
In a large
bowl, combine dry ingredients (through ginger). |
|
3 |
In a
separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and
half and egg. |
|
4 |
Use a pastry
cutter or two knives to cut butter into the dry
ingredients. Continue cutting until the mixture
resembles fine crumbs. (You may also use a food
processor for this step. Pulse until the mixture
resembles fine crumbs). |
|
5 |
Fold wet
ingredients into dry ingredients, then form the
dough into a ball. Pat out dough onto a lightly
floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick
rectangle that is about 9-inches long and
3-inches wide. Use a large knife or a pizza
wheel to slice the dough twice through the
width, making three equal portions. Cut those
three slices diagonally so that you have 6
triangular slices of dough. |

6 |
Bake 14 to
16 minutes on prepared baking sheet. Scones
should begin to turn light brown. |
|
7 |
While scones
are cooling, prepare plain glaze by combining
ingredients in a medium bowl with an electric
mixer on medium speed. Mix until smooth. |
|
8 |
When scones
are cool, use a brush to paint a coating of the
glaze over the top of each scone. |
|
9 |
As the white
glaze firms up, prepare spiced icing by
combining ingredients in another medium bowl
with an electric mixer on medium speed. Drizzle
this thicker icing over each scone and allow the
icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour). A
squirt bottle works great for this, or you can
drizzle with a whisk. |
