I decided to experiment with some gluten free baking. It is a great way to get some different grains into your diet and since so many people do need to eat that way these days, it is nice to have a few good recipes in my arsenal. I think these turned out very good. I have discovered that if you put in the recommended amount of xanthan gum then things get pretty spongy so I reduced the amount and I am loving the texture.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line one with parchment paper.
Combine flours, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
Pat the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide). Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making three equal portions. Cut those three slices diagonally so that you have 6 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 14-16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.
TO MAKE THE PLAIN GLAZE:
Mix the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Use more milk or powdered sugar as needed to reach glaze consistency.
When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze over the top of each scone. As the plain glaze firms up on top of the scones, make the spiced glaze.
TO MAKE THE SPICED GLAZE:
Combine the ingredient for the spiced icing together. Drizzle this thicker icing over each scone and allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour). A squirt bottle works great for this, or you can drizzle with a whisk.
