To begin, preheat your oven to 375° (F).
Combine cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, and a salt in a mixing bowl.
Cut a half cup (1 stick) of cold unsalted butter into pieces and drop it into your flour mixture.
With a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until there are no pieces of butter that are larger than a pea.
Add in milk, solid packed pumpkin, and brown sugar. Stir these together until just combined. Turn it out onto a clean surface and knead until it comes together.

Pat the dough into a “square-ish” shape that is about 3/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 9 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally creating 18 scones.
Place the scones on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake for 16 minutes.
While the pumpkin scones are baking, combine butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and half & half in a small saucepan.
Bring this to a boil and let it bubble for one minute, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.
As soon as the scones come out of the oven, place them on a rack over another baking sheet or some parchment paper to catch drips.
Brush the glaze over the top of each hot scone.
Serve the pumpkin scones warm or room temperature.
Enjoy!
