Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
  • 1/2 cup chilled pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup cold milk
  • 1 cold egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients. Make sure your butter is cold and diced.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Add the cold diced butter to your dry mixture. Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the chilled pumpkin puree, cold milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into your dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, turn out your dough and shape it into a circle about an inch thick. Slice into wedges and place onto a lined baking sheet.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for about 17 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  7. Prepare a simple icing by mixing powdered sugar with heavy cream and a touch of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle over each warm scone before serving.
