My Autumn Favorites series wouldn’t be complete without at least one scone recipe! I know some people don’t like scones but we LOVE scones in our house. Any kind – strawberry, blueberry, and yes, even pumpkin!

I love making a pot of tea and pulling out these pumpkin scones for a delicious fall treat!

Amazing Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients:

2 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 Tablespoons cold butter
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 Tablespoons Milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

For the icing:
1 Cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmet
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper

2) Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a bowl. Add in cold butter until your batter is crumbly without chunks of butter. I usually end up doing this by hand 🙂

3) In a separate small bowl, mix together the pumpkin, milk and egg.

4) Combine the wet ingredients into the dry.

5) Form dough into thick triangles on the baking sheet.
