1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg freshly
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup unsalted butter chilled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Add butter. Cut in until coarse meal forms. Whisk pumpkin puree, 1 egg, and extract in small bowl; mix into dry ingredients. Gradually add buttermilk; toss until moist clumps form (add more buttermilk if dough seems dry. You want the dough to be a little tacky). Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk.
2

Press dough out on floured surface to 9-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges. If you like a smaller scone, make 2 smaller discs and cut into wedges. Place on prepared sheet. Whisk 1 egg and 2 tablespoons cream in small bowl for glaze. Brush some on wedges.
3

Bake scones until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.
4

Combine powdered sugar and cream in a small bowl. Add more cream until you've reached desired thickness. Add ginger and nutmeg to taste. Dip scones into glaze and place on baking rack to set.
