Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a medium bowl combine plant milk, vinegar, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the egg is fully combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl come flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix with a clean fork or spoon until spices are evenly combined throughout the flour.
Add cold plant butter to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands, pressing the butter between the dry ingredients creating smaller and smaller clumps. Do this until the butter clump are approximately the size of a pea throughout.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spoon or rubber spatula to gently fold just until combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl for remaining dry bits.
Line the kitchen counter or large cutting board with parchment paper and dust a spoonful of flour on top. Add the u201cdoughu201d to the floured parchment paper, add an additional teaspoon of flour onto the dough and gently press outward until about 1 inch thick. Fold half of the dough onto the other half. Add a pinch of flour if necessary and gently press dough outward until about 1 inch thick and fold over.
Form the folded into a circle shape and gently press down until about 1.5-2 inches thick. Fold parchment paper over the dough and cover in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425˚.
After chilling, remove the dough from the fridge, remove the plastic wrap and place the parchment wrapped dough directly on the baking sheet. Run a knife under water and cut the circle in half so that you have two half moons. Wet the knife again and cut diagonally across both halves as if you're cutting each half into thirds or the circle into sixths. Gently pull out the two triangles away from the circle and cut the remaining two 2/3s of the circle into halves, creating 4 more triangles. Set the triangles about 2 inches away from one another on the baking sheet.
Bake at 425˚ for 14 minutes or until golden brown. In the meantime, prepare the cream cheese icing using the following steps.

Enjoy!
