Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Whisk pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, allspice, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and baking soda together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small crumbs.

  3. Mix 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, sour cream, white sugar, and egg together in a separate bowl, stir into flour mixture just until dough forms. Gently roll dough into a circle on a floured work surface and cut into wedges or use fall-inspired cookie cutters. Arrange scones on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

  5. Mix confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl until glaze is smooth, spread over warm scones.
