  • Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set it aside.
  • Use a box grate to grate the frozen butter (it will look like shredded cheese).

  • Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing them together to form and dough with your hands.

  • Sprinkle some flour onto your work surface and pat the dough into an 8-inch/20cm circle.
  • Cut the dough in half vertically, horizontally, and then in half diagonally each way to make 8 wedges.
  • Brush the top of each scone with a thin coat of milk and sprinkle the top of each scone with a light dusting of sugar.
  • Use a large offset spatula to move each scone to the prepared baking sheet.

    Baked Pumpkin Scones
  • Remove the cooked scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • To make the glaze, use an electric handheld or standing mixer to beat the powdered sugar, cream, cinnamon, and a pinch of the other spices. If the glaze is too thick add a teaspoon or two of cream or milk, and mix well. If the glaze is too thin, add a little extra powdered sugar and mix well.
  • Spoon the glaze into a squeeze bottle or piping bag or plastic food bag (with the tip/corner snipped off).
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooked and cooled scones. Enjoy!
