Pumpkin Scones
Hey Friends! I am soaking up these fall days and that has me wanting to bake! I thought I’d attempt making some pumpkin scones. I’ve made scones once before but they were a drop and cook kinda recipe which was a little easier but I have to say, these traditional scones were just as easy and turned out fab! My triangles were on point, know what I’m saying? 😉 Making certain foods intimidate me – like scones, pie crust and cheesecake. Is that strange? I have tackled my cheesecake and scone fear – now on to the pie crust. #imscared
I found this recipe over at Call Me PMC. I copied the recipe exactly with the exception of sprinkling some sugar on top before baking. These were a hit with my hubby but it did suggest more ‘spice’ the next time I make him. Scones aren’t an overly sweet treat so you pack in the flavor with the add-ins and sometimes a glaze kicks it up a notch. They are also delish warmed up with a little butter.

I love using what’s in season and well, hello pumpkin! Are you a fan of scones? I treat myself to one about once a week. I love maple scones the most.
