Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
  • Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a large floured chef's knife to slice the dough into half lengthwise and then into thirds going the other direction to yield 6 squares. Then, cut each of those squared diagonally to create 12 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet by transferring using a floured spatula.
  • Bake for 14 to 16 minutes in the top rack of the preheated oven. Do not open oven door until cooking time is almost complete. Scones should begin to turn light brown and be done cooking within a couple minutes of being able to smell them. Immediately remove from baking sheet and place on wire rack to cool.
  • While the scones are cooling, make the glaze. Mix the powdered sugar and half and half together until smooth with the vanilla paste, if using.
  • Use a whisk to drizzle a layer of plain glaze over the top of each scone, reserving a third to half of the glaze for the spiced version.
  • Add pumpkin pie spice to remaining glaze and drizzle remaining glaze over each scone using a whisk. Allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour).
