Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C)
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, 4 Tsp Baking Powder, 3 Tsp Sugar, 1 Tsp Salt
Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, blend the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
¼ Cup Butter
Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice to the mixture. Stir gently with a spoon to combine. The dough will be slightly dry.
2 Lrg Eggs, 1 Tsp Pumpkin Spice Blend, ¼ Cup Pumpkin Puree
Gradually add the milk to the dough, mixing gently until just combined. Add enough milk until the dough is not overly dry.
4 Tbsp Milk
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently work the dough, adding flour as needed until it is no longer sticky. Form the dough into a ball.
Flour a sharp, large knife. Cut the dough ball into eighths (triangular wedges).
Place the scone wedges on a baking sheet (no parchment paper needed). Bake for 30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack to cool. Allow them to cool nearly completely before adding icing.
