Ingredients
  

For the Scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Drizzle:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk (more if needed)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat the dough into a circle approximately 1-inch thick.

              Cut Scones: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool the Scones: Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Prepare the Cinnamon Drizzle: While the scones cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

                      Drizzle and Serve: Once the scones have cooled, drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the top of each scone. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Spice Bliss Scones!
