Spiced Pumpkin Scones Recipe: Fall Is Coming

The famed Pumpkin Spice Lattes have been out for weeks now, and I haven’t had one yet. I typically enjoy them, but I’ve cut back on buying coffee since Jeremy purchased a Breville for me last year. I still need my pumpkin fix, I just don’t get to drink it. Every year Jeremy alternates between growing heirloom pumpkins and cushaw; this year happened to be a pumpkin growing year, thankfully we have lots of them. I’ve processed pumpkin for a few weeks, and creating new recipes to enjoy them. This Spiced Pumpkin Scones recipe is a nice balance between pumpkin, spices, and sweetness. I used pumpkin purée from home-grown pumpkins in the recipe, but you can use canned too. I also lightly glazed them with a cream cheese glaze.

You’re gonna need butter to make these scones, that’s what makes them light and fluffy. They have the consistency of a nice homemade biscuit, but lightly sweet; remember that when your mixing your Spiced Pumpkin Scones dough.
