Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and pecans.
- Whisk pumpkin, buttermilk, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Stir into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, mixing just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead gently, 4 to 5 times; dough will be sticky. Pat into a circle that is about 7 inches across, and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut in half, then cut each half into 4 triangular pie-shaped wedges. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl. Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash. Sprinkle tops heavily with coarse sugar.
- Bake on the middle or top rack of the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a scone comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Slide scones, still on parchment paper, onto a counter or wire rack to cool.
- While cooling, combine powdered sugar, milk, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon for the icing in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until it boils, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool partially, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle over scones; allow icing to harden before serving.

I made these lovely scones one day when looking for a way to use up leftover pumpkin, and I was so excited with the results. I often use my food processor to stir up the dough just until it comes together. It's so simple to prepare this way. -Brenda Jackson, Garden City, Kansas

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Canned pumpkin puree can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your scones a more intense flavor and a more tender texture.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones to rise more evenly and will prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the scones until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make the scones dry and crumbly.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings. Pumpkin scones are delicious with butter, jam, or honey.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin ginger scones are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
