Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup sugar.
Step 3
Cut the 1/2 cup cold butter into small cubes and rub into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it looks like coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the 3/4 cup pumpkin puree and 1/4 cup milk until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick round, and cut into 8 wedges.
Step 6
Place wedges on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
Step 7
Let cool slightly, then dust with the 2 tablespoons powdered sugar before serving.
