Adapted from Inspired Taste
(Makes 16  scones)
Ingredients:
4 cups of plain flour
2/3 cup of light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of cloves
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of butter, chilled and cubed
1 cup of pumpkin puree
2 eggs
3 teaspoons of vanilla
6 tablespoons of milk

(For glaze)
1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk

(For spiced glaze)
1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon of cloves
1/2 teaspoon of ginger
dash of nutmeg

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large bowl, add all your dry scone ingredients and mix togethers. Then add the chopped butter and press it into the dry ingredients until it resembles bread crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all the wet scone ingretients. Then fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Then turn your dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half . With one half of the dough, kneed a few times and then roll the dough out into a rectangle about an inch thick. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, and then crosswise and then each smaller rectangle into two triangles. Then repeat with the other half.

Place your scones on a tray covered in baking paper and bake for about 12 minutes. Then move the scones to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes.

While the scones are cooling make your glazes. For the regular glaze just whisk the powdered sugar and the milk together. For the spiced glaze, sift the powdered sugar and spices together and then whisk in the milk until smooth.

When the scone are full cooled, first cover them with the regular glaze and then drizzle the spiced glaze over top that. Allow the glaze to set for 30 minutes before eating.
