1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Spray two baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, half-and-half, and egg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Add the cubed butter on top. Cut together using a fork or pastry cutter until it is the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Gradually fold in the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture, using a rubber spatula, wooden spoon, or your hands. make sure all dry ingredients have been moistened well.
on a well floured surface, flatten and form the dough inot a 12x4x1 rectangle. Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide the rectangle into 3 equal pieces then cut each piece into four smaller triangles by marking an "x" through them.
Place scones on sheet and bake for 13-15 mins or just light brown. Remove to cooling rack and let cook before icing.
