Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
- Cut in cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and egg until smooth. Pour into the well of dry ingredients and mix gently.
- On a floured surface, pat the sticky dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick and fold it like a letter, repeat two more times.
- Shape the dough into rounds or wedges and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the shaped scones for about 15 minutes while preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush tops with an egg wash and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, a splash of milk, and cinnamon in a bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm scones and serve with coffee or tea.

Notes
For best results, chill the butter, avoid overmixing, and consider freezing options for make-ahead scones.
