I could have sworn I took a picture of these on the plate, which would look much nicer than sitting on the wire rack but . . it isn’t on my camera so I guess I didn’t!
These smelled so good baking and they taste pretty good too.
Pumpkin Scones
2 cups all purpose flour
8 T. sugar
1 scant T. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
6 T. butter
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
4 T. milk or Half & Half
1 large egg, slightly beaten
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix butter, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
Add pumpkin, milk and egg. Mix just til mixture is completely blended. Do not mix any longer than necessary.
Pat out onto floured surface either into a circle or a rectangle. Cut into wedges (6 or 8).
If desired, sprinkle a little sugar on each wedge. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes.
Cool on wire rack. Stick the parchment paper under the wire rack and that will catch any drippings when adding the glaze and icing.
Glaze:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 T. milk or Half & Half
Mix, adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed to get consistency desired. Brush or spread thinly onto cooled scones.
Once the glaze hardens, add the spiced icing.
Spiced Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 T. milk or Half & Half
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. gound nutmeg
Spread or drizzle over scones.

Judy: I think I am going to have to stop reading your blog, I think I’ve gained 10 pounds since I started reading it and these scones won’t help for sure they sound so yummy. Stop beating yourself up over the fabric purchases!
Ruthie says
Hmmm, I just happen to have a 1/2 can of pumpkin left over from making Pumpkin Spiced Lattes this morning.
Connie says
Those sound and look delicious. Can’t wait to try them.
Linda says
Thank you! I have about a 1/2 cup of pumpkin in the fridge just waiting for a home and those look like the perfect place for it. Can’t wait until morning.
Suzanne says
Thanks for sharing your recipe…these sound yummy. I tried a new apple crisp recipe today that turned out yucky…never use that one again!
Sandy says
Thse sound yummy and pumpkin is DH favorite flavor. I have to try this recipe. Thanks, Judy.
Rebecca says
Thank you so much! I was going to make the recipe in Quilter’s Home magazine, and have some pumpkin, but realized I don’t have some other necessary ingredients.
Question: do you “cut” the cold butter into the dry ingredients? (They usually say until it resembles cornmeal).
Also, isn’t 8 tablespoons (sugar) 1/2 cup? and therefore 4 tablespoons (milk) 1/4 cup? (I’m lazy & like to do as little measuring as possible).
Rebecca says
Couldn’t wait for an answer, so that’s how I went ahead and did it. I guess it was right, because they turned out great! Now to try to figure out why my icing came out SO much thinner than yours! At least with the parchment paper underneath, I’ve discovered a way to make my own almond-spice coffee sweetener!
Trish says
Thanks for the recipe! I love scones and these look so yummie! Can’t wait to try them!
