Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in canned pumpkin, beaten egg, dried cranberries, and 1/4 cup low-fat milk until just moistened.
Lightly flour a work surface.
Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and knead lightly a few times to bring it together.
Divide the dough in half.
Pat each half into a 6-inch round.
Cut each round into 6 wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-fat milk.
Sprinkle the tops with raw sugar (turbinado).
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Transfer the scones to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
To store and serve later: let scones cool completely on rack and then place in ziplock bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: place one scone on a microwaveable plate, cover with wax paper and microwave on high for 30 seconds or until heated through.
