Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a
large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter
into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of
butter are obvious. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg.
Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1"
thick rectangle. Use a large floured chef's knife to slice the dough
into half lengthwise and then into thirds going the other direction
to yield 6 squares. Then, cut each of those squared diagonally to
create 12 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet
by transferring using a floured spatula.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes in the top rack of the preheated oven. Do
not open oven door until cooking time is almost complete. Scones
should begin to turn light brown and be done cooking within a couple
minutes of being able to smell them. Immediately remove from baking
sheet and place on wire rack to cool.
While the scones are cooling, make the glaze. Mix the powdered sugar
and half and half together until smooth with the vanilla paste, if using.
Use a whisk to drizzle a layer of plain glaze over the top of each
scone, reserving a third to half of the glaze for the spiced version
Add pumpkin pie spice to remaining glaze and drizzle remaining glaze
over each scone using a whisk. Allow the icing to dry before serving
(at least 1 hour).
