Pumpkin Scones with Maple Frosting

(scones from Allrecipes.com, frosting from Pioneer Woman)

SCONES:

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 3/4 cups self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in egg, pumpkin puree and 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Stir in flour until a dough forms, then knead a few times on a well floured surface until the dough holds together. Press the dough into a flat circle 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6 wedges, place onto greased baking sheet, and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of milk.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Once done, wrap scones with a clean dish towel and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

(I added 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice to the batter.)

FROSTING:

To a mixing bowl, add 1 bag of powdered sugar. To this, add about 2 teaspoons maple flavoring, about 3/4 cup milk, & 1/4 cup melted butter. Stir until thick but pourable.
