Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ginger.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, and egg until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if too sticky.
Turn out dough onto a floured surface; knead gently and shape into a circle about ½ inch thick.
Cut into eight triangle pieces and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
