Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon allspice
  • ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¾ teaspoon cloves
  • cup brown sugar
  • cup chilled butter

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients together.
  •  Add the chilled butter and cut it in until crumbly.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, pumpkin, and whipping cream (optional- cinnamon chips). 
  • Stir until mixed.
  • Place dough on a floured surface. Knead until not as sticky.
  • Press out to ¾ inch thick.
  • Cut into pie shaped pieces OR cut with a round biscuit cutter.
    You can make these rounds into pumpkins or cats if desired (or other shapes you think up!).
    Use a round biscuit cutter to cut rounds from the dough. Place on a cookie sheet.
    Attach two triangle pieces for ears if making cat scones.
    For the pumpkin, press ribs into the round dough to look like pumpkin ribs. Add a stem.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
    When cool, toppings or decorations can be added.

Orange flavored drizzle:

  • Add just enough orange juice to the powdered sugar to make it run off the spoon. Drizzle over the scone.

Cat decorations:

  • Place a small amount of frosting on the cat scone and place chocolate chips or Skittles on the frosting.
  • Cut a stick of gum in long strips. Use these as whiskers and hold them in place with a bit of frosting.
