...make Pumpkin Scones!! I sure hope ya'll aren't sick of scone recipes yet because here is another one! :)
I have been gifted several pie pumpkins in the past week or so and after cooking and pureeing the pumpkin, I decided to see how it would do in some scones. The pumpkin puree, an egg and some molasses were the only wet ingredients I used and I added some dried cranberries and vanilla chips. I also used my homemade pumpkin pie spice, you can find the recipe at the end of this post. (That reminds me, I need to make that Applesauce Molasses cake sometime soon!)
Pumpkin Scones
2 1/3 cups Baking Mix
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
6 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup vanilla chips
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 tablespoon molasses
Turbinado sugar for the tops
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, stir together Baking Mix, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in butter until it resembles small peas; stir in dried cranberries and vanilla chips. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, egg and molasses; mix well. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and mix lightly until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 4 or 5 turns. Roll or pat dough into a circle 7 inches in diameter. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges and place on a baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough room between the scones as they will rise a bit and spread out. Brush the top of each scone with a little heavy cream or milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown.
I had some of these for sale at last week's Farmers' Market and they went fast, guess it's getting to be pumpkin season, my favorite time of year!

Yum! Why do you have to live so far away? I wish you were my neighbor ;-)
Oh lucky you this sounds and looks delicious. I could go for one right now for breakfast. B
I need to print this out! I make scones for breakfast pretty frequently, but have never tried pumpkin!
Looks delicious, Pumpkin / Walnut has always been one of my favorites.
Oh, I love scones and will definitely give these a try!
I'll have to try these. We have a bunch of pumpkins growing along with squash.

I'll have to try these! When the weather turns cooler, with a hint of fall in the air, I want to bake. Trouble is, then I want to eat.............
Oh my! Pumpkin anything for me - but these look especially good. And all that good beta carotene too : )
They look great. I love Pumpkin... wish we were neighbors :)
What beautiful scones! With fall knocking on the door, baking with pumpkin sounds so good. We are dropping into the 30's tonight and warm scones for breakfast would be a great treat - thanks for the recipe!
I WISH life would give me pumpkins. Ma Nature seems to have other plans - plans that do not include pumpkins. I can almost smell those delicious scones - you are the BEST baker!
These look good!
best thing about fall is the yummy versions of pumpkin. we eat it by boiling it like potatoes and eating it. yup - yum.
you know a lot about quail. thanks for your opinion of what pic of 'fence quail' you prefer.
fun, huh?
Mmmmmmmmm yummy pumpkin scones! Almost time for me to make some more!
I have some of your baking mix left so this will be a perfect way to use it. Scones and a Pumpkin Latte. What a way to end the day.
I think we all are dreaming a little of Autumn and this would be a perfect recipe for a cool day. :)
Oh, yummy-yum-yum!
They look sooooo much better than the ones in the store! :)
These will be so good on a nice cold morning with a cup of coffee!
Just a quick note to let you know that starting tomorrow, I will begin hosting a new photo meme on my blog. Please come join me at "Orange You Glad It's Friday", and post a photo displaying a little or a lot of orange, my favorite color! Hope to see you there!
Thanks Candy. Scones are another one of my weaknesses. This recipe looks great. I can hardly wait to taste the pumpkin, cranberry, vanilla chip combo.
