Pumpkin Scones Recipe

Fall means it’s time for all things PUMPKIN!!!! Lucky for me, my son is quite a great cook and baker so I was able to sweet talk him into making Pumpkin Scones for the blog. Pull up a cup of coffee and see how easy it is to make this delicious taste of fall.

PUMPKIN SCONES RECIPE

In a medium bowl mix together all the dry ingredients.

Using a box grater, grate a stick of frozen into the dry ingredients.

Toss the butter and dry ingredients together.

In a small bowl, combine together the wet ingredients.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mix well until all ingredients are combined, form a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, press the dough into a circle one inch thick.

Using a very sharp chef knife, my son’s choice is Miyabi knives he swears by how sharp they stay and likes how they are weighted, cut the circle into wedges.

Look how pretty it is after cutting into pie shapes.

Place the wedges on a prepared cookie sheet (prepare with either parchment paper or a mat). Bake the scones at 400 degrees for 18 minutes. While the scones are baking, mix up a glaze. After the scones are cooled, drizzle with glaze and enjoy!
