Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, frozen and cubed
- 1/2 cup (120g) sourdough discard, chilled
- 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp (30ml) buttermilk
- 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg

- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp (2g) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a large bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter to work the frozen butter cubes into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized lumps of butter still visible.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the chilled sourdough discard, pumpkin puree, buttermilk, brown sugar, and egg until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until the flour streaks disappear.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into an 8-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes to ensure height during baking.
- Cut the dough into wedges and bake for 15 minutes.
- Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, and vanilla extract together to create a glaze, then drizzle over cooled scones.
