Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, cream, and egg until combined.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; mix until just combined to form a shaggy dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; gently knead and shape into an 8-inch round disk about 1-inch thick.
Cut the disk into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown; cool on a wire rack before glazing.
For the Vanilla Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth; drizzle over cooled scones.
For the Cinnamon Drizzle: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon; drizzle over the vanilla glaze.
