• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more for brushing
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

7. Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into wedges or circles.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream.
9. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack.
10. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle the icing over the top. Let the icing set before serving.
11. Enjoy your delicious iced pumpkin scones!
