- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 Tablespoons cold butter
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 Tablespoons milk (or heavy cream)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- (orange Americolor food coloring)
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl.
- Cut in butter with a pastry knife, until mixture is crumbly with no chunks of butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, and egg.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and form into a ball.
- Pat out dough onto lightly floured surface and form into a 1-inch thick rectangle
- (about 9 inches long and 3inches wide)
- Divide into three sections and then make each section into two triangles.
- Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheets for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. (10 minutes for small scones)
- Scones should begin to turn light brown, let cool on a rack.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk together with spices and apply to scones when cooled. I applied the first coat of icing then colored the rest orange and drizzled over the tops.

I’m used to Starbucks in Houston, Texas. What I appreciate most about chain stores is that you know how good or bad your expectations are. I like Starbucks in New York, Boise or Midwestern cities.
