3/4 cup White 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 (must be kept cold in fridge)
1/2 cup Pure Pumpkin (can use canned)

1 Large Egg

Glaze:
3/4 cup Icing Sugar
1-2 Tbsp Milk
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg

Well, I have to confess that I don't really like pumpkin pie or anything with pumpkins in it, 

but this is one of my favorite breakfast treats.

Preheat oven to 425'F.

I forgot to put my can of pumpkin in my ingredients picture, sorry about that.

Measure and add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a food processor with the chopping blade in it. 

Place the lid and give it a quick mix to blend it all.  

This is an old food processor from my sister-in-laws old neighbor.  

I received it for free and have had it for 10 years and it still works awesome!

Cut the cold butter into nice small square pieces and add it to the food processor.  

I keep my butter in the fridge right up to this part to keep it cold.

Pulse blend the butter and flour mixture until it is well blended and almost pea size pieces.

Quickly add the pumpkin, egg, and cream to the butter mixture.

Blend the wet and dry mixture until it is all mixed well.  

See picture below for the look of it when well blended.

Sprinkle flour on a cookie sheet and pumpkin dough on it.

Spread the dough with your hands to form a flat rectangle.  Use lots of flour on your hands and sprinkle some on top to help form the rectangle.  You can use parchment paper to help shape it as well.

Using a sharp knife with some flour on it, cut the dough into 8 equal parts.

Spread them evenly apart like below.  Place in preheated oven for 14-18 minutes.

The edges will be turning a nice golden brown.

Place them on a cooling rack to cool a bit before adding the glaze.

While they are baking, you can put the glaze together.  Here is what you will need for the glaze.

Place everything in a small bowl and mix until well blended.

Doesn't this look so yummy???

Once the scones have cooled off cover them with glaze and enjoy them with a lovely cup of coffee.

I hope your family enjoys them as much as ours does.  I took a double batch to the hockey arena one morning and everyone raved about them.  Many said they are better than the Starbucks ones.

My entire family eats them, especially fresh out of the oven!
