Pumpkin Scones

October 14, 2013 by The Emotional Baker 24 Comments

Filled with fall spices, these scones make the perfect treat
Pumpkin Scones

I. love. pumpkin. Just the word pumpkin excites me.

As soon as fall arrived, I started concocting pumpkin recipes. These scones were inevitable.

When they first came out of the oven, I didn’t have the patience for them to cool so they could be glazed. They were still the perfect treat, bursting with pumpkin flavor and fall spices. The next day I created a spicy icing. Alone, the icing was very potent, but on the scones they are amazing, accenting the scones.

Pumpkin Scones

This recipes makes 8 large scones, but you can make smaller scones if desired.

While I was cutting the scones, I got a little confused as to how to cut the rectangle into triangles. A simple technique is to form the dough into an 8 x 6 inch rectangle and then cut it into 4 smaller rectangles.  Cut each rectangle diagonally, creating 2 triangles.

These were the perfect treat to satisfy my pumpkin craving. What’s your favorite ingredient to bake with?

    I love these scones. And, I’d be the same way with not waiting for them to cool down! (=

      Yes, Gloria! It is so hard to wait, but if you can, the icing completes the scone.

    Yummy! I love that you used almond milk in these. I tend to use that as a milk replacement in most of my recipes anyway so I’m glad to find one where I know it’ll work out well :).

      Thank you, Emily! One suggestion I can offer when making scones is to make sure the margarine is completely incorporated into the flour. Good luck!

    Can you substitute Butter for margarine in this recipe? If yes, is there a change in the quantity?
    Thanks!

      Hi Karen! Butter should work perfectly in this recipe. Although I haven’t tested it, my guess is that the same amount of butter would be used as margarine. If you try them, let me know how they turn out 🙂

      Hi Natalie! The majority of my recipes are vegan. For these scones I used Earth Balance buttery sticks. Although I haven’t used honey melt butter it should work. Please let me know how they turn out. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!

Perfect. • It’s something we try so hard to ac Perfect.
•
It’s something we try so hard to achieve.
•
But at times it can leave us feeling tired, unworthy, and not “as good” as our peers.
•
Trying to get the perfect photo, something I use to love to do, started to drain me out more than fill me up.
•
So I haven’t been taking as many photos.
•
Getting the perfect photo would lead to my family eating cold pancakes while I tried to get that award winning shot. Or an hour of clean up picking up all the leftover sprinkles I used for my fancy backdrop.
•
So this Easter I kept things easy. I shot a few quick photos of these Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with my iPhone and left my DSLR and natural light to the side.
•
The Emotional Baker of a year ago would gasp that I’m posting this photo.
•
But here’s the truth: Every day’s perfect, even if it goes unplanned. Every meal, every moment with loved ones, every walk, everything you do each and everyday is perfect. And just as it’s intended to be.
•
Here’s to a day of finding bliss in the imperfect and knowing it truly is perfect just as it is.
•
Happy Easter!
•
Love, Megan - The Emotional Baker 💖🐰😘

Every year I look forward to a round cookie, with icing, and crunchy sprinkles. This year my cookies got a bit of an update thanks to @freshaprilflours and @fancysprinkles.

My wish for you this Christmas is that you can savor the simple things, find peace and feel the love that surrounds you every day.

All my love,
