Pumpkin Scones with Spiced Glaze

Pumpkin Scones with Spiced Glaze

I had some pumpkin leftover from the Pumpkin Muffins my son and I recently made. I found a recipe for Pumpkin Scones on a blog called Pennies on a Platter that looked delicious. They were very simple to make and tasted amazing. I loved the spicy cinnamon flavor of the scone and the frosting. My husband and kids LOVED these scones too. They were perfect for a lazy morning breakfast.

How to Make Pumpkin Scones with Spiced Glaze

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.

In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin, 3 tablespoons of half and half, the egg, and vanilla together. Slowly add the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix the batter.

Form a ball and place it on a lightly floured surface. Flatten the ball into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut the rectangle into four squares then cut each square diagonally in half to form a triangle.
