Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose Flour
3/4 cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 stick Unsalted Butter
3 Tablespoons Fresh Ginger, Grated

1/4 cups Half-and-Half (fat Free Is Fine)
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Milk
1/4 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice

Directions

1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Cut in the butter using a food processor, fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, combine the grated ginger, vanilla, egg, buttermilk and half-and-half. Add the wet ingredients into the butter/flour mixture and mix until incorporated.
2

Spoon freeform scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Note that the dough will spread in the oven.
3

When done, remove from the oven and cut out whatever shape you like with a cookie or scone cutter while the scones are still warm. Allow to cool completely.
4

Mix together the glaze ingredients and spoon over cooled scones.

Note that if you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can use equal amounts of clove and nutmeg.
