Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Spiced Glaze:

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. While the scones are baking, make the spiced glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and milk until smooth.
10. Once the scones are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
11. Drizzle the spiced glaze over the warm scones and serve.
