Preparation Time 1 hour / Portions 12 / Difficulty Level: 2/5

Ingredients

Scones

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 7 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 6 tbsp cold butter
• 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
• 3 tbsp half & half cream
• 1 egg

Spiced Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tbsp half & half cream
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• pinch of ginger
• pinch of ground cloves

Topping

• Maple Pecan Utoffeea (use a chefs knife to chop the pieces into small crumble)

Directions

To Make Scones

• Preheat oven to 425° F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
• Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients. Fold wet ingredients into dry. Form the dough into a ball.
• Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 12“x6”). Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making 3 equal portions. Cut once through the length making 6. Slice those 6 portions in half, making 12 equal triangles. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 14-16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Cool completely before glazing.

To Make Glaze

Combine all dry ingredients. Add half & half cream 1 tbsp at a time. Mix until smooth and spreadable. Spread on all scones. Top with Maple Pecan Utoffeea crumble.
