Double Glazed Pumpkin Spice Scones

I love scones and what better than scones for my favorite season! 

{from here}

I made them with milk instead of half and half, baked them on my pizza stone and left them there to cool, oh and I didn't have any powdered sugar {gasp!} so today we had Pumpkin Spice Scones and imagined the double glaze taste. The boys and I really enjoyed them, but my sweet tooth could tell it was missin' a little somethin'. But grab yourself some hot chocolate, or cider and you've got one deliciously Fall experience for your taste-buds. ;-)

Double Glazed Pumpkin Spice Scones

2 cups flour

1/4 c + 1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

6 Tbsp cold butter, cubed

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

3 Tbsp half and half

1 large egg

Glaze #1

1 c + 1 Tbsp powdered sugar

2 Tbsp half and half

Glaze #2

1 c + 3 Tbsp powdered sugar

2 Tbsp half and half

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl.  Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs and there are no remaining pieces of butter.  Set aside.

3. In a small bowl, whisk pumpkin, half and half, and eggs.  Fold in to dry ingredients and form a ball.

4. Pat out dough on to a lightly floured surface.  I like to form a circle about 1 inch thick and about 6-8 inches in diameter.  Cut in to 6 even triangles.

5. Place on baking sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes until light brown and dry to the touch on top.  Let cool completely on wire rack before glazing.

6. Whisk glaze #1 and brush evenly over cooled scones.  Let dry.  Whisk glaze #2 and drizzle over top.  Let dry and serve.
