Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cane sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the cold diced butter and use your hands to pinch the flour and butter together. Press the dough/butter between the palms of your hands to create flat pieces.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, vanilla extract, milk, heavy cream, and pumpkin puree. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined.
- Dump the mixture onto a floured surface. Flour your hands and gently press the dough down. Lift half the dough with a bench scraper, fold it, and press down again while incorporating some flour.
- Re-flour the surface as the dough absorbs it. Fold the dough over another 4-5 times.
- Shape the dough into a disk and pat down to 1" - 1 ¼” thick. Flour a sharp knife and cut into 8 triangles.
- Brush the tops of the scones with milk. Place each piece on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Stir together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until it runs freely from a spoon but is still somewhat thick, adding a few drops of water if it is too thick.
- Pull the scones from the oven and cool completely before drizzling on the glaze.

Notes
For a delightful twist, experiment with adding chocolate chips or nuts like pecans. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
