How to make pumpkin scones
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter cut in 1 cup cold butter (or use your fingers to rub in butter), until mixture resembles course crumbs.
In a separate bowl mix pumpkin with 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of milk. Add this all at once to flour mixture and stir just until combined.
Turn mixture out onto a floured work surface and knead 10 times. Divide the dough into two equal halfs and shape each into an 8 inch round disk.
Using a sharp knife of a pizza cutter cut each disc into 8 equal sized wedges. Place the wedges onto a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with milk.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are a golden brown.
Prepare glaze by sifting 2 cups confectioners sugar with 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, stir in 3 tbsp milk.
Spread glaze over warm scones.
