Filled with fall spices, these scones make the perfect treat
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.
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?

Gloria // Simply Gloria says
I love these scones. And, I’d be the same way with not waiting for them to cool down! (=
The Emotional Baker says
Yes, Gloria! It is so hard to wait, but if you can, the icing completes the scone.
Rebecca @ Dorm Room Baker says
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 :).
The Emotional Baker says
Almond milk is my favorite milk substitute. Thanks for stopping by, Rebecca!
Emily @ It Bakes Me Happy says
Megan your scones look divine, I for some reason can never seem to bake scones? Yum, yum, pinned!
The Emotional Baker says
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!

I LOVE the name of your blog 🙂 these look so yummy! I make plain scones or sultan ones but never pumpkin- a must do
The Emotional Baker says
Thank you for visiting, Renee! You must try pumpkin scones. They are the best! Let me know how it goes 🙂
Karen says
Can you substitute Butter for margarine in this recipe? If yes, is there a change in the quantity?
Thanks!
The Emotional Baker says
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 🙂
natalie rivera says
Can i not use margerine? I have honey melt butter by Melt company made with coconut. I never ever use and buy dairy im vegan
The Emotional Baker says
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!
