2-1/4 cups flour
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, spices, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter or margarine with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture; set aside.
Combine egg, pumpkin, and milk in another bowl. Add egg mixture all at once to dry mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough by folding and pressing gently for 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth. Pat dough into an 8" circle. Cut into 12 wedges.
Place wedges 1" apart on an ungreased baking sheet. If desired, brush tops with additional milk. Bake in a 400°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove scones from baking sheet, and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with Berry Butter.
