Starbucks Pumpkin Scones YUM!


2 c flour
7 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ginger
6 TBSP butter
1/2 c canned pumpkin
3 TBSP half and half
1 large egg

Powdered Sugar Glaze
1 c powdered sugar
2 TBSP milk

Spiced Glazed
1/2 c powdered sugar
1 TBSP milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch cloves

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry knife until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.

In a small bowl whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold 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. Using a pizza cutter slice the dough into thirds. Then cut those into triangles so you have 6 triangles total.

Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14-16 minutes. Scones will be lightly brown. Place on wire rack to cool.

While they are baking prepare plain glaze and spiced glaze. When the scones are cooled brush plain glaze. The more the merrier in my opinion. Then drizzle spiced glaze over the top. Super yummy to eat with a tall glass of milk!
