If you need to make the sweet potato puree, bake the sweet potato and scoop out the flesh. Set aside.

step 1

step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder and 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter is in tiny pieces.

step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

step 4

Add the potato puree to the flour and stir together until the ingredients are completely mixed together. The mixture will be thick, and you may have to use your hands to knead the dough for it all to come together.

step 5

Transfer the dough to a cutting board and form into a 1 thick circle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the circle into 8 slices.

step 6

Place the slices on a lightly sprayed or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

step 7

While the scones are baking, make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the glaze over the scones and sprinkle with remaining chopped pecans.
