                         Orange and Blueberry Pumpkin Scones:
   2               cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting
      1/3           cup  brown sugar -- packed
   1           teaspoon  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
   1           teaspoon  ground cinnamon
      1/2      teaspoon  ground ginger
      1/2      teaspoon  ground cloves
      1/2      teaspoon  ground nutmeg
      1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- chilled and cubed
   1 1/2    tablespoons  orange zest
      1/2           cup  blueberries
      1/2           cup  pumpkin puree
   1              large  egg
   1         tablespoon  molasses
   3        tablespoons  orange juice
      1/2           cup  blueberries
   1                cup  confectioners' sugar
   2        tablespoons  orange juice
      1/2      teaspoon  cinnamon
      1/2      teaspoon  vanilla
      1/2      teaspoon  cornstarch

Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 18 minutes

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Add all of the Dry Ingredients except the butter, orange zest, and 
blueberries to a large bowl and mix well. Add cold butter and "cut" 
butter into the flour using a pastry cutter, two knives or your food 
processor* until the mixture resembled coarse cornmeal with a few 
pea-sized bits of butter, about 5 minutes. Mix in orange zest until 
well combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Wet Ingredients. Pour 
wet mixture over dry ingredients and stir until a wet dough forms. 
Gently fold in blueberries. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoon flour over wet 
dough and toss in the flour a couple times until it reaches soft 
dough consistency. (I add this flour after because it is easier to 
fold in blueberries when wet)

Transfer the dough to your parchment paper lined baking sheet and 
knead 2-3 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll 
the dough into a 10 by 7" rectangle. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, 
cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut in half horizontally, 
making four rectangles. Cut each of these rectangles diagonally in 
half, forming a total of eight triangles. Using a spatula, spread the 
scones at least 1" apart from each other.

Bake in the oven 13 to 18 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the 
center of a scone comes out clean. Let cool while you prepare your Drizzle.

While scones are cooling (don't make before or it will thicken too 
much!), add Cinnamon Blueberry Drizzle ingredients to a blender and 
puree until smooth (you will still see bits of blueberry skin that 
will dissolve when boiled). Transfer blueberry mixture to a small 
saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute while stirring 
constantly then remove from heat. Let sit 10 to 15 minutes, or until 
thickened to desired consistency then drizzle over scones. (I put my 
drizzle in a Ziploc bag, cut the end off one of the corners and 
squeeze onto the scones).

Scones are best served while warm after drizzling or microwaved for 
20 to 30 seconds.

Notes: *If you don't have a pastry cutter, the easiest way to cut in 
butter is to use a food processor. Add flour mixture to the bowl of 
your food processor, add the cold butter cubes then pulse 3-4 times 
until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
