Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour (2.25 cups)
• white sugar (0.75 cup)
• baking powder (1 tablespoon)
• ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• salt (0.5 teaspoon)
• ground nutmeg (0.5 teaspoon)
• ground cloves (0.25 teaspoon)
• ground ginger (0.25 teaspoon)
• cold unsalted butter (3 tablespoons)
• shortening (3 tablespoons)
• canned pumpkin (0.75 cup)
• egg (1 )
• half-and-half (2 tablespoons)
• confectioners' sugar (1 cup)
• milk (2 tablespoons)
• ground cinnamon (0.25 teaspoon)
• pumpkin pie spice (0.25 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2. Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a large bowl. Cut in butter and shortening using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture is crumbly.
3. Mix pumpkin, egg, and half-and-half together in a separate bowl. Stir into flour mixture until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut dough into pizza-shaped wedges and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool.
5. Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl. Drizzle over scones. Let set.
