Ingredients
  

For the Scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Drizzle:

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2-3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until fully combined.

      Cut in Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Incorporate Wet into Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

            Shape the Scones: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick circle. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges (like a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Prepare the Cinnamon Drizzle: While the scones are baking, make the cinnamon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency.

                  Cool and Drizzle: Once the scones are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling the cinnamon glaze over the top.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pumpkin scones warm or at room temperature, paired with your favorite tea or coffee for a cozy treat.
