Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
• ½ cup pumpkin puree
• ¼ cup light sour cream
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking 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.

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.
