    These were good. I used fresh, cooked pumpkin rather than canned and doubled the spices. The dough was a little moist, maybe because of the fresh pumpkin. Also, I cut the scone into 16 pieces because the recipe says it is 16 servings. - 10/2/09

    I made this last night and they were really good! I used 2% milk instead of half and half but they turned out fine. My icing wasn't thick enough and I couldn't figure out how to thicken it up. Other then that, they were YUMMY! - 11/2/13

    I used fresh pumpkin which meant dough was sticky and had to use more flour. I cut the glaze way down and only used a couple of tablespoons drizzled over the top. - 10/14/11
