Coffee Shop Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients

• Scones:
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 tablespoons cold butter
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half
• Glaze:
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

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.

Mix pumpkin, egg, and half-and-half together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until combined. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut dough into pizza-like wedges and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool.

Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl; drizzle over scones.
