In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and soy creamer. Gently fold this mixture into the flour mixture until the dough comes together (you may have to knead it very gently a few times).
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and dust with additional flour. Form it into a 9-inch disc (use a rolling pin to lightly roll the dough if necessary, but the scones will be more tender if you pat it out with your hands). Cut the disc in half, then into three wedges for a total of six wedges. Place the wedges on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Place the scones on a baking rack lined with parchment paper to cool while you make the glaze.
