Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
To create these delightful pumpkin scones, follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cubed, chilled butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
6. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
7. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the scones are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
