Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well blended.
- Add butter and pulse several times to cut butter into the mixture. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center.
- In a bowl, whisk together chilled pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and honey. Pour mixture into the well in the flour/butter mixture.
- Stir mixture with a wooden spoon to incorporate, then knead several times to bring mixture together. Dust a work surface with flour then invert dough onto the surface.
- Pat and shape dough into an even 8-inch round. Using a large knife, slice into 8 equal wedges.
- Transfer scones to a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 Tbsp half and half then bake in the preheated oven for 13 - 15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Transfer scones to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before spreading with glaze.
Glazing
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and half and half, adding more half and half as needed to reach desired consistency. Spoon and spread over scones to evenly coat tops.
- For the pumpkin glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and half and half. Transfer mixture to a small Ziploc bag, seal, cut a small tip from the corner, and drizzle over tops of scones. Allow icing to set.
